Exploring The Kootenay Boundary in BC Canada

Looking for abandoned mines and ghost towns in the historic Kootenay's in British Columbia

I love history of this area. It would help if you could find some of the old railway grades. They are probably the most lasting artefacts.

@@paulpotter7188 noted for our next trip that way! Thanks!

I was at the cenotaph in Phoenix in Sept 1995 and it was really creepy . Absolute dead silent no birds chirping , no wind , imagine being in space or a vacuum it was lifeless .

[@exploringdirt]

Wow that is so creepy😬

Amazing!

Hint: When someone is narrating, reduce the background music in the video to more lower levels. Your on your way to great things!

I had it down to 10% but we didn't have a proper microphone. We do now so going forward should be better. Thanks for the feedback on that!

The Motherlode is up behind the smelter in Greenwood. Haven’t seen that adit you guys found. Blowing cool air means there’s another level or air shaft. We’ve done some exploring there for our other channel, lots of history in the area.

Thanks for the watch! Turns out we were at the Motherlode but didn't go quite far enough in to actually see it. Next time... This region has more mining history than I had ever known. It's quite incredible. The more research we do here the more I'm blown away by just how much there is. If you want info on that place let me know. More than happy to share

Those aren't scratches, those are BC pinstripes!

[@exploringdirt]

Ha you know it!!! Your not having fun if you don't hear that!!

[@MrPixelgrower]

To get rid of the vent reflections on the truck's window, shoot with a camera (Digital) that accepts a Polarizing Filter. This will eliminate or reduce reflections. 🙂

Thanks for the advice! It's really appreciated👍

I was there with a little girl with Down’s syndrome and she said she could see young boys playing in the field below the cemetery ! It was an interesting situation! Anybody believe in ghosts?

[@exploringdirt]

@@mikemax321 Wow! That's an amazing story! It was so sad to see so many children's graves.

A little history : - "In 1911, the Phoenix Hockey Club won the McBride Cup, given to B.C.’s top hockey team. They challenged the Ottawa Hockey Club for the Stanley Cup - but the team declined, saying it was too late in the year." Most historians award the Stanley Cup to the Phoenix team because if you decline to defend, you LOSE. nya nya na nya yah.

@@qualicumwilson5168 nice!

Turn the music down, couldn't understand a thing you were saying.

[@leeketner6488]

It is apparent , no one knows how to do videos. My volume is all the way up and i can not hear what is being said. So i turned off !

[@exploringdirt]

It was one of out first and we now have mics. Sorry to have lost you. Learn as we go and sometimes still forget the darn things.
