Canada's Famous Lost City | Abandoned and Forgotten | Destination Adventure

This is a video that I have wanted to make for years, and I am so happy with the experience of making it. I visited the old town location of Minto, in the central interior of BC. There is nothing left structurally of the old town because the entire location was flooded by the man made Carpenter Lake, but that does not mean there isn't anything to see. My goal while visiting Minto, was to put the drone in the air and see how well I can map out the ruins and roads of the old town. This was more difficult than I had hoped, but combining what I could see from the air and what I could see from the ground, I was really able to start building this map.
While on location, I also wanted to do some metal detecting and see if I could find some old relics. I put on a lot of miles and dug a lot of holes, and it was worth every bit of the effort. I got to see so many remnants from the residents that once called this home, and I was able to dig up some really neat relics as well.
As beautiful as the town site is, I cant go without talking about the drive to get there. I have done this drive five times now, and it impresses me more every time I do it. I personally believe that this is the most beautiful drive in British Columbia, and I am so excited to share it with you all.

Possibly the "bell" is a gas cap. There is a knurled edge around the cap, so you could turn it easier.

[@Devon-3point1]

I'm going to say you're correct in that it's a cap. Possibly a fuel tank for heating or some more stationary type of machinery. If you look closely at it you can see it had something on the inside. Likely it was spring metal that would have been friction to keep the cap on a pipe by being forced into the inside with the cap he found on the top.

[@2ofus]

@@Devon-3point1 if it's threaded on the inside it could be a radiator cap, or a grease cap.

[@Dodge-cs3gb]

I agree. Often gas caps from the 40s and 50s had those serrations on the side.

I've got a cabin at Gun Lake just up the road from Gold Bridge. There's about 15 different mine shafts I've explored over the last 40 years of riding dirt bikes around the surrounding mountain ranges. Lots of hunter/trapper cabins, old vehicles in the bush from the mining days, plus fishing and views for days. If your around next July come to the south east end of the lake and start yelling for Dave. Bring your dirt bike.

The insulators screw on to the threaded poles you found. Those stick tree`s are failed recent attempts by BC Hydro to plant cottonwood tree`s using nursery branches. I`ve seen 1000`s of them at reservoirs all over BC and almost all of them are dead. What a waste of our tax dollars!

Dustin, your videos are getting better and better. The production quality is so good, I felt like we were there with exploring. Awesome video!!!

[@wizland5131]

Really liked the video. I use to work for a power company so I can confirm that the heavy metal objects you found are the mounts for the insulators. They very depending on the insulator used. I also think that the object you referred to as a bell is actually a fuel cap. The 2 rivets on the top would have held the spring mechanism or latch.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

Wiz -- Just after Dustin held up one of the insulator rods he held up an unidentified steel stamping. I'm thinking it was a steel bracket used on a power pole to diagonally reinforce when the installer would bolt on the wood cross-arm that held those rods & their insulators. Does that make sense to you?

[@wizland5131]

I am fairly sure the bar he picked up was a cross arm brace. After viewing the video a second time a am wondering if some of the colored glass pieces looked at could be telephone or telegraph insulators? Depending on the manufacture they came in a variety of colors like green, pink, purple, blue and yellow/orange. If the glass seamed unusually thick, it probably was.

[@DannoM_]

Wow I love this video!! The drone footage is spectacular, the history of the area, the remoteness of it and your exploration and examination of it are really good!

It's amazing how much untold history we have here in BC. I grew up in the Okanagan & the valley is rich with history dating back to white man's first true western town from the 1700's into the 2nd largest gold rush in N. American history. Indigenous history dates back 1000's of year and it's all largely untold. Dustin does a great job of uncovering lots of BC's untold stories and historical places.

[@markg3947]

When you are exploring old places try to find where they had their dump. Great for old bottles.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

13:55 That gets bolted onto the cross beam of a power pole by the thread on the flared end. A glass or ceramic insulator gets threaded on the top and the wire is attached to the insulator. 20:00 I think it would be a good ideal to glue those pieces together and set it aside. You might find more pieces during future scouting.

[@mike-rink]

If you want to learn more, I think the Nikkei Internment Memorial Center in New Denver is an amazing place to visit. Thanks to its historical structures and recreations you really get a feel for what a terrible experience this was for interned Japanese Canadians.

[@aboveitall1653]

About 1/100th as bad as the experience that Canadian Prisoners of War endured - many NOT surviving - in Japanese internment camps. But of course Liberal and Left-Wing Gov'ts in Canada as well as the news-media have successfully repressed that, while ensuring the "internment camp story" is well told to the public and is part of the "formal education curriculum".

[@mike-rink]

@@aboveitall1653 not sure what triggered you to bring politics into the apolitical statement "interning your own citizens is bad". But, since you brought it up... The government has not "repressed" information about Japanese POW camps. In fact, on the government's Veterans.gc.ca page "Prisoners of War in the Second World War" they accurately point out it was harsher in the East, "The Japanese camps were often run with great brutality. The food rations provided for the prisoners were particularly meagre.". You can also find more information in the Canadian War Museum's site, where they have archived newspaper articles about POW's experiences. As to your comment about this being Liberal, or Left-wing, I would point out that it was Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney who made Canada's formal apology to interned Japanese Canadians. His apology came one month after conservative Republican President Ronald Reagan did the same in America, to interned Japanese Americans. Finally, just to clarify - the Nikkei Centre is not a Federal museum. It is operated by the Village of New Denver. It is likely supported in part by gov't grants, but it is independent. Like I said in my comment, I encourage everyone to visit the museum. It certainly educated me as to the terrible conditions forced on Japanese Canadian citizens, and the amount of mental and financial damage that was caused.

[@cbeyre]

@@aboveitall1653 interning your own citizens and selling off their possessions and destroying their business and communities because of their ethnic heritage despite being in Canada for multiple generations in many cases is totally different than being a soldier in war captured in a foreign country. Not even comparable.

[@aboveitall1653]

@@cbeyre --- you are correct in one thing, Canada had no business sending troops to defend the "British Colony" of Hong Kong. The Chinese can defend it themselves. And in the late 1930's-early'40's the Chinese were being massacred by the tens of thousands by the invading Japanese, who occupied a sizeable part of then primitive China, in an ethnic war that had roots centuries ago. And America should have never given an "ultimatum" to Japan to get out of China, that is what caused the Pearl Harbor sneak attack. But of course back then Canada was still a partial British Colony itself, so it went to defend "the mighty British Empire" in HK .

[@Johnketes54]

​@@aboveitall1653I understood where you are coming from, The Japanese military were exceedingly evil treating all prisoners of war with disdain including Korean and Chinese civilians into slave labour women into prostitution and rape,Civilians are usually innocent of war crimes. The Japanese will never admit any wrong doing to this day.

[@kathnh6795]

I'm finding all your videos to be fascinating. I've always wanted to do what you are doing. The Japanese who were moved to Minto were very resilient; despite the fact that they had to leave their homes behind, and those home were in either the USA or somewhere in Canada, they still built beautiful, elaborate gardens and made Minto just like their former homes.

[@nbrowser]

Quite a few years ago my other half an I did a drive into Lillooet form the LM one day...ended up leaving Lillooet via the Carpenter Lake road...very scenic to say the least. Ended up in Goldbridge and Bralorme, had a small charcoal BBQ tailgate lunch at nearby Gun Lake then returned to the LM via the Hurley Main (while it was still maintained by the Ministry of Transport into Pemberton returning home via Whistler (99 to highway 1 back to Abbotsford). Phenomenal day of exploring and travel, BC has a lot to take in for sure!

I was lucky enough to visit Canada twice, once with the RAF, we overnight stopped in Gander on the way out and Goose Bay on the return flight, and it was very Hospitable in both stops, but very windy and snowing on the return leg, the second time was a ten day holiday to visit relatives in Mississauga, Ontario, and we visited some beautiful places off the tourist trail, (handy having Canadian relatives), we went to places so diverse and historic, I would have loved to emigrate but by the time I left the RAF the idea of selling up and moving on to a new life was very appealing to me, but not the wife (now ex wife) and so we stayed here in England, not that England doesn’t have some wonderful and beautiful places to go and live, but I really fancied the ability to escape to the wild and wonderful vast expanse of Canada 🇨🇦, some of which is virtually unexplored, oh how I envy my relatives, and Canadian people in general.

Excellent video production. The camera angles and music. REALLY impressed. You did a fantastic job!!! I grew up in B.C. and I really miss home. There is so much I don't know about the province and I love videos like this. Honest to God, you did a first rate job. You can almost put it on TV. I am a fan of Bill Barlee and Mike Robert's old TV show called Gold Trails and Ghost towns. One of the ideas I had was to incorporate their old videos and have someone go exploring where Bill and Mike were talking about. They were often in the studio and it would be great to go to the old towns and mines they talked about. Maybe CHBC in Kelowna would be interested in doing another series. Especially with a young hip guy who comes across really well on cam. Maybe, get your hot girl friend to be on the show. Two good looking young people exploring B.C.. Maybe, the government would be interested in teaming up as a sponsor. The other idea for just a simple video would be to do a 30 minute to 60 minute interview of Mike Roberts. Ask him questions about the show. What was his favourite show? What was Bill like? Did he ever going with Bill exploring? How many shows did they do a day? What time of year and what time of day did they do the series? Was the series fun? Why did it end after 10 years? I think the fans would love that video and it would be great to have an archived video of Mike talking about the series and maybe a little more about him. What I understand is that he was a reporter for 40 years at CHBC, which was the station that produced the series. I loved Gold Trails and Ghost towns TV show growing up as a kid. My Dad who passed away a year before Bill did didn't watch a lot of TV but he loved that show. We would have coffee Sunday morning and watch the show together. A lot of the places I went to with my Dad and it was fun to see Bill and Mike talk about the locations and the history. Keep up the great work. This video was amazing!!!

Hello Dustin, I love your mix of history with exploration. This was a fascinating glimpse into the past. With every episode I’m gaining ideas for more places I’d like to see for myself someday… It seems from what you’ve shown people aren’t removing everything they find, but I’ve heard of places that have been totally stripped of artifacts. Its always better to leave future generations something to find. Sure I’ve got a few “treasures” from years of poking around in old locations, but I can hold it all in one hand… A metal detector looks like a fun item to have, perhaps a video on what’s possible with one.

I confess to being a dirt relic nerd too 😜 I spent a year cleaning up an old section of a village.. I brought home SO many funky odds and ends 🤣.. I’ve saved the very best chunks of colored glass, it’s going to get put in a rock tumble eventually 👍 I make jewelry and decorative sculptures when I have the time, so at some point, my old glass will be up-cycled 😬 Thanks for sharing all of this.. it’s stunning scenery as well..

Like the show. I lived in the yukon and hiked the original Alaska hwy not all of it and panned gold. I also lived in BC and work the railroad from moose jaw sk to Vancouver Island. It's amazing what you get to see, my adventures took me to the railway line in the east and west kootneys from Sparwood to end if line trail BC the abandoned mines the rail railroad gang camps and also Kootenay landing bridge ( I worked that bridge restoring and replacing timbers, all wooden trestle bridge. In this episode I noticed in the water there was another channel like road from the other rock lined road from zone 1over to zone 3. Thanks for the videos enjoy them tremendously stay safe keep it going

Only watched 10 min so far and it’s clear the amount of work you put into your videos. Some of the shots and fading and editing are just so good you forget you’re watching a self made video. Really great job, you’ll be getting more subscribers soon I think, as your video gets recommended to more people. Also, this type of content is really appealing because I’m nosey af.
