That 'dream' of Albert Yuen's represented a nightmare to many Islanders who loved the Potholes as an incredible, wild, natural place to enjoy all year round. Large sections of the river would've been off limits to non paying visitors, the planned density of his built out vision, altering the area permanently. When he went belly up for a second time, leaving creditors wondering where $12 million of their dollars went, The Land Conservancy and the Capital Regional District banded together and finally managed to preserve the Potholes for everybody and for all time.
@@therebex23 Coastlines below the mean high tide mark are Crown land, rivers, I'm not so sure what constitutes the border between private and Crown land. In the case of the Potholes access to favourite swimming holes would've required boonie bashing up the other side of the river, or hiking and swimming up the river itself. In any case, I'm profoundly grateful the Potholes are now protected by park status.
@@jamesd2128 Ditto, I know from where I grew up in BC "access to water" was often fenced off and I always wondered why in terms of "private ownership." In my opinion the shoreline should be pubic access and never private ownership. I was thinking that this resort was destined for failure due to that exact reason. Glad we can preserve the natural gifts this part of the earth has given us through the parks system.
Below mean high tide is federally managed, and there is such a thing as private foreshore leases that extend well out into the ocean. Not just ports etc, but houses with docks fit this category as well, so not all oceanfront is public in Canada. And in BC lakes and rivers can be privately owned in their entirety, and owners can restrict access however they want except for what they call "navigable waters". As in you can't stop people from boating on your part of the lake or rafting down your river (or even putting on waders and fishing in your creek) as long as they don't trespass on your actual dry land.
Holy crap! I walked through that BEAUTIFUL log building 25 years ago, I couldn’t believe back then such an amazing structure was abandoned. What a difference now!!!😢 Nov 2023 now…..
Ahhhh!!! So thats what it looks like now!!! Learned how to swim in the river below. Right at that spot. The wood was removed due to the building was condemned and potential injuries. I remember climbing around the building when it was still standing. I remember growing up hearing people being injured round there all the time. Spent a many summer days in the 90’s swimming there as it was the only spot for the locals to swim. This was before Sooke had a actual swimming pool. Thank you for showing this. It brought back fond memories. If you follow the trail that leads from there further up called the galloping goose trail as it was called back then. It lead to a ghost town called leech town. I don’t know its open to the public still as there were old buildings there.
I ride by the resort at least once or twice a year while biking. It's changed a lot over the years. The fencing is particularly irksome. The regional park needs to invest some money in making the rockework stable and open it up like it used to be years ago. people used to love wandering around the site. Railings on the rock face stairs would be a good thing.
The bush with the little berries is Catoniaster, a common ornamental. So yes, probably a survivor of resort plantings. Amazing place. Been to Sooke long ago, didn't know about it. I fried bull kelp once but it was much too salty. I bet it would be good pickled.
Man… Sooke potholes are one of my favourite places on the island, close enough to Victoria but wild enough to enjoy spectacular scenery and spot wildlife all year round. Watching this video from 2 years ago also reminds me how far you’ve gone in your story telling and film making craft since then. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but your recent videos from Alaska and Haida Gwaii are just on another level. Great work! ❤
I love the back roads of this great country of ours it’s like I am exploring right beside you. I like your saying take videos or pictures and leave nothing but foot prints
I like how when he pulls up you can see the big stone chimney in the background behind the fence and the fence has "KEEP OUT" signs posted every 5 ft and then all of a sudden we see Dustin at the ruins behind the fence lol. You certainly didn't break any rules there lol.
I remember exploring this just after it was abandoned. There was a huge dance floor (wood) overlooking the river. I remember standing on it and imaging what it would be like if it had been completed. Haha...I remember seeing you buzzing through Sooke on your bike.
Oh my gosh Dustin I'm laughing so hard! Only you could pull off such a smooth transition from exploring ruins, to wildlife viewing, to sudden random motorhome cooking show! 😆
I love this comment, thank you so much. It’s a roller coaster for sure, but I only record what I’m doing. With maybe a couple little skits along the way lol
Highly recommend Nanlite Pavotubes led lights for cooking shows. The 6s are great for closeups, the 30s great for mounting in the roof. Got magnets you can tape all over , internal batteries, usb c charge, waterproof accessories, mounts, etc.
The bear was nice, but I've never seen adult salmon splashing n a stream and that was so cool - only seen salmon fry released in a stream at a local outdoor classroom.
All aspects of your video, from the beautiful and informative views of the resort, to the info provided about it, to the pickling section, were viewed with great interest and pleasure. I am forever learning something from your travels and adventures. Thanks so much.
I think it is a cool addition to your channel. I also liked the bow and arrow segment. You reminded me of a kid playing Robin Hood. LOL. Nice to see your inner kid come out. Great video. Thanks!
I love the MoHo Cooking Show!!!!! I also enjoy how you have been changing things up and having longer videos. The boyfriend and I get excited when we see you have a new video. Keep doing what you do. ✌🏻
YAAAAAASSSS!!!! Please.. More cooking! My family lives on Whidbey Island & we have pretty much the exact same ecosystem at you do in Vancouver. My wife is a student at Western (WWU) in Bellingham working on her marine biology & biology majors w/ geography & cartography minors. We are entrepreneurs, "lazy preppers" & overland aficionados lol. (You should see my Barnävit Designs SVT Raptor!) But yeah, she's WAY cooler than me: I'm just a mechanic obsessed with physics & history with a bad habit of volunteering, lol. We could use some cool recipes that use our local NW flora & fauna on our forest-service road x-country adventures!
Haven't seen the place since the 90 s probably the coolest building site I've seen recognized the fire place instantly .the wood beams and stone work were amazing glad I saw it the way it was to bad about the spray paint in Europe you wouldn't spray paint a castle .I'm a Mason by trade so I guess it made an impression on me thankful the video
Awesome video😁. I felt like i was on a roller coaster while you walked the ruins, but that made it more thrilling. I found the MoHo cooking show amusing 😂, and have never eaten kelp, in spite of spending my life on the coast. So I'm curious to hear your review.
Love the vids and that bike conversion. I will have to look up how you did that. A couple things with ur pickle, if your jars cool down b4 you can seal them properly put all the closed jars upside down in the boiling water for a minute no more then pull them out and turn ride side, tighten some more. You want the air to contract so a vacuum is created and the lid pops in. Then you can store w/o refrigeration.
Love that you did this in my home town!!. Ps don't ever eat those red berries, they're poisonous. Kelp I don't think any islander ever eats the kelp 🤢. Yuck but good on you for being brave. Thanks for doing this video.
You are an incredibly endearing and fascinating person sir. Love your sense of humor and calm. You’d made an excellent tv show host too! Love the karate skit and the cooking. To be honest I haven’t seen anything you do but I was like meh! You’re great 👍🏽
The architecture is cool. Almost looks like a dream level for Tony hawk if you added ramps. Really like that fireplace. I do like to see updates on the older video sites. I was sad to see the island burned. Figured not to many people have the nuts the use the wire to cross. Beary happy to see a friend enjoying the stream.
I really appreciate this comment. I am always nervous covering a location twice and I’m happy to hear you enjoy that. And you’re right, it’s cool to see how things change.
Beautiful landscaping, when you were walking on top then jumped down my heart paused for a second much braver than me. was kinda sad too see so much graffiti though
Hi Dustin, my husband and I just started watching your videos a few days back and are always wanting to watch the next one. Informative and fun! We are subscribed and look forward to seeing more.
Love the channel, keep up the good work. As for the cooking, it's nice to see what takes place behind the scenes, it adds to the adventures you take us on and makes it more of a personal experience like we are there with you. Good job fella!
Not bad. Thanks for reminding me how easy it is to pickle stuff. I keep avoiding it because I’m worried about botulism but if you do it right there are no worries. I have never tried kelp so it will be interesting to hear what you think about it
I've also read a few articles that mention it being built in the 80's, but as a young kid hiking with my mom in the late 70's I recall it being built. I remember all the construction equipment in ok condition abandoned with the windows smashed in. It's too bad they didn't get the entire roof on; they were so close too. That would have added many years to the structure and perhaps more investment to completion. The rockwork still blows me away to this day
You make slamming adventure vids. Some of the spots you visits appear to have safety concerns especially without phone service. I just think you should not do them alone. Stay safe.
We always called the kelp sea onions haha we don’t eat them but we do stomp on them and whip them around with their heads off so they make fun sounds Very cool video from the ruins to the MoHo cooking show. Also I’m not against tasteful graffiti but it is sad to see ruins like that littered with it - especially when the stonework itself was so beautiful!
Very well written comment, thank you. These ruins are so nice, it is a shame to see the graffiti. I completely agree with you tho, about the art. A certain canvas and a certain artist will create a beautiful piece of art, and this location has many. I would actually be so happy to see this location utilized as an art venue. It’s the pointless spray can vandals that drive me crazy.
HAAAH!! Your Hilarious, and a little Nuts of the things you do. Loved it when when you poked your head out from behind the tree. I remember seeing it the first time, what an amazing spot, Sad and to bad that they took the place apart, would have been awesome to have seen it completed!!! Ya I would like to see some more of the MO FO MO HO COOKING SHOW WITH DUSTIN PORTER, maybe you can get a spot on the Food Network featuring some recipes with road kill. LOL!!! I'm going to have to give you SHIT for promoting Cariboo Beer and not Fox Mountain Beer, OHH I guess I'll let it slide this time. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and KEEPEM COMING!!!!!!!!!!!
The bottom floor was pretty creepy back when the wood was still there. I can remember comparing it to Dracula's castle but the main floor with that huge fireplace was so cool .
My best friend did some freestyle drone flying there. I wanted to take my little scale trucks there and do a a video there. I do rc truck videos haha Not quite as cool as your stuff haha. Love what you do ma , keep up the awesome work.
When I lived in the area the wood log structure was still up. It looked a lot more impressive back then. The dirt bags can't wait to spray paint everything.
Fun! Years ago I worked with a girl fromGabriola Island that pickled kelp. I’m going to wait for your reviews before I try it. Love the MoHo cooking show idea.
Hello nice to see the lodge story and the old pictures of how it was made . Cooking good idea show Cjd wash state 🤔 p.s. your moter bic frame looked like a light wt frame look for hair line crack's or you will be EATING dirt .
Last time I was up there the wood framing and roof where still intact, and there was a suspended steel beam assembly that extended out over the cliff that was perfect spot for a scary lunch break.
In early 80's we would hike up there the roof was still on it.there was some heavy equipment still there. Used to light a fire in the fireplace down stairs. I never trusted the walk out on the cliff. I think it was built in the early 70's then the guy ran out of money. Now there's a road up to it.
Since my home has been Victoria for my entire life I was able to see the resort (that's what it was suppose to be had it been finished) before it was torn down for safety reasons. It was a very large log and heavy timber building that was pretty much just a shell. Best part was the massive fire place that was most likely in a grand room.
I was there 30 years ago and haven't been back since. The timbers were still in place and nothing had been defaced and ruined by vandals. It's disgusting and sickening to see all that horrible spray can graffiti all over the place. None of that was around when I first visited. I think spray cans should be banned.
That 'dream' of Albert Yuen's represented a nightmare to many Islanders who loved the Potholes as an incredible, wild, natural place to enjoy all year round.

When he went belly up for a second time, leaving creditors wondering where $12 million of their dollars went, The Land Conservancy and the Capital Regional District banded together and finally managed to preserve the Potholes for everybody and for all time.
Thank you for the Local Histories Need to be remembered
I am under the impression that you can't "own" shoreline of bodies of water in Canada as it is vested under Crown land?

I love this comment, thank you so much. It’s a roller coaster for sure, but I only record what I’m doing. With maybe a couple little skits along the way lol
@@Destination_Adventure The skits are a great feature. You make it all work together nicely.
Keep the foraging and cooking segment! So important to pass on all the knowledge of local food stuffs!
More MoHo Cookin' Show! 👍

Dustin I love everything about your shows. Go moho hi!!!!
I'm kinda glad that place never got built.
And also, I'm going kelp hunting later.
All your videos and all that you do have been awesome.
I’m not big on Kelp, but I’m still interested in the cooking segments also!
Loving the channel.
LOVE THE MOJO COOKING SHOW!
I've been here! I found pothole falls on the map while In Sooke and didn't realize these ruins were here until I showed up.
Loving episodes you've done & the cooking parts you have been doing too!
Yes, it's always interesting to see how to prepare what you've harvested
Liked the cooking segment!

Part comedian, part adventurer, part youtube chef, quite the trio there. This was a really good video lol. The MoHo Cooking Show was brilliant.
Very beautiful view of the resort! 😍
Wow! Truely amazzzzzing! Thanx for the Vid! Pity about all the coloured paint graffiti on the natural beautiful stone !

I grew up in sooke, you should have seen it with all the timber frame still standing. It was and still is the place to go swimming in the summer.
Love the cooking part! Definitely would love for you to keep doing it!
Cool vid, fantastic story, like the cooking segment.
That place is, Awesome!!!! I wish I could live there.
Love that you did this in my home town!!. Ps don't ever eat those red berries, they're poisonous. Kelp I don't think any islander ever eats the kelp 🤢. Yuck but good on you for being brave. Thanks for doing this video.
Stumbled across you tonight. Loved the Mo Ho Cooking Show!
Definitely keep the cooking cooking I love trying wild edibles and learning new things.
The cooking show is a great addition. Keep it! 😃

The Sooke potholes are cool but I really liked the Whiffin spit! P.S. I love your videos!
yes! Love your show
Great cooking segment!
Man those look tasty with the onions! My favorite part is the picked garlic. I really wanna eat kelp now though.
Love this, thank you
Love it! two thumbs up from Calgary
Yes! I've been waiting for this episode, especially since I just moved away from the area. Thanks for doing this.
Very cool place, sad it never got completed as it would have been a place to stay. Great video!! Keep exploring
Always Nice to see you exploring Dustin, Your childlike wonder is what makes this channel :D Cool place hehe I get why you chose it
Loved the cooking show addition!

I was envisioning Danny McCaskil doing wheel hops from one ledge to another !
Loved the whole show! Keep on cooking :)
Beautiful landscaping, when you were walking on top then jumped down my heart paused for a second much braver than me. was kinda sad too see so much graffiti though
I was at the sooke potholes on labour day weekend and swam right where your camera is pointing at 3:12!Beautiful spot
Wow Never thought I'd walk in on a British Bake off Competition Video ;-))
Wow I see that HOSER tag everywhere in the lower mainland. Surprisingly it's even at these ruins.. @3:30

Curious to see your review on the pickled kelp!
I'd love to see this when it was new
Fun! Years ago I worked with a girl fromGabriola Island that pickled kelp. I’m going to wait for your reviews before I try it. Love the MoHo cooking show idea.
Keep the cooking show!
I used to swim in the potholes in the early 90s. long before they fenced up the convention centre.
Loved the cooking segment. Your channel is awesome man. Can't say it enough. Keep it up! I see you at 100k subs in the next 6 months.
Knowledge is always welcome. I never knew that bullwhip kelp was edible or thought of pickling it. What does it taste like?
Hello nice to see the lodge story and the old pictures of how it was made . Cooking good idea show Cjd wash state 🤔 p.s. your moter bic frame looked like a light wt frame look for hair line crack's or you will be EATING dirt .
MOHO cooking show is nice. |Especially if you do you... And maybe Mick...
Last time I was up there the wood framing and roof where still intact, and there was a suspended steel beam assembly that extended out over the cliff that was perfect spot for a scary lunch break.
your pickled bull whip kelp reminds me of hagfish for some reason.
In early 80's we would hike up there the roof was still on it.there was some heavy equipment still there. Used to light a fire in the fireplace down stairs. I never trusted the walk out on the cliff. I think it was built in the early 70's then the guy ran out of money. Now there's a road up to it.
I hiked up there over 30 yrs ago, don't recall all the grafitti.
Since my home has been Victoria for my entire life I was able to see the resort (that's what it was suppose to be had it been finished) before it was torn down for safety reasons. It was a very large log and heavy timber building that was pretty much just a shell. Best part was the massive fire place that was most likely in a grand room.
I was there 30 years ago and haven't been back since. The timbers were still in place and nothing had been defaced and ruined by vandals. It's disgusting and sickening to see all that horrible spray can graffiti all over the place. None of that was around when I first visited. I think spray cans should be banned.
Sweet. Now i know that kelp is edible.
