Can you fix the volume?
What's up with the Poisonous Black Sand in the River and on the Beaches !. I hear if you want to get sick just walk barefoot on the Beaches up in Northport, WA. You can thank those Canadians for the Smelter Dumping toxic Slug into the Columbia River.
Bill has a great story about former " Hole in the wall gang" guy who was doing B&Es in Union Bay. Might of been a story about BC Police Force. Can't find it, anyone know of it?
The volume is so low I'm using CC, interesting its interpretation, I'll have to look at a map to get the right names😂
When these shows were “recent” I watched them on the coast, from the Kelowna station I think. Now I live outside Nelson so it’s nice to see these again.
We are lacking in this type of broadcasting today. Thanks for posting.

GREAT HISTORY_ RIGHT IN OUR BACK YARD!
The attraction of the area to me is sun and water in the summer. I don't care about gold.
I visited sandon bc June 2024. I sat on a trolley I’d driven in 1977 in Vancouver bc. Great memories ❤
Good old show.
Incredible comb over
Always thought it was wrong to abandon this line myself.
I worked with a man on the icbc building in n Vancouver in 73 or 74 that found a mine up there about 2 yrs later must have done well as he withdrew and retired fron the union at that time.
There's still good ore there it's just to deep and hot to work it
Church, natives residential schools,doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened particularly ugly history there in that valley .
Been my favorite area since I was a young boy.
Closed her a few years back now.talk of a parallel find a bit ago but nothing ive heard since.

Been there
I watched this show as a teen and I have visited many many places featured on this show.
My wife and I might be taking a fishing trip to the Horsefly area this summer and this video popped up. Always interested in the gold rush history of the canyon. Good video.
why don't you fix the volume on your downloads so we can actually hear an episode. can't hear anything on most(90%) of your downloads. wtf???
You need to fix the audio controls on your computer. These videos were produced in Mono format not stereo. And if you don't like don't listen. I didn't put all this work into making this channel just to listen to people like you. I can just as easily shut it down.
Instead of building his wife a couple huge homes he should of invested in thousands of acres across bc for many generations of wealth.
I climbed up both peaks 2 years ago, and first thing I said when walking between the two peaks, this thing is going to slide again.
My great-grandparents were married in Port Essington in 1900, he arrived there in1897.
I have the collection of artifacts mention in the later part of the video

Was there yesterday. They are working on the site to save it. No buildings left, just sage brush. Cool place though!
Love finding episodes of this show
Bralorne is still alive and well. Was there last month.
Grand Canyon is very close to Longworth, BC. I plan on trying to film that with my drone this spring.
Thank you!
How? How does he retain the crazy amount of knowledge? Amazing!❤
Interesting history. Thanks for the video.
Grew up in Scotch Creek in 60's-70's. Know of old cabins and dump sites there. I may return.
That woman and bear photo is actually showing Skookum Jim from Discovery on Bonanza. No doubt about it
I'm surprised this guy couldn't spot Skookum Jim.. very surprised...
Thanks for posting these Leslie. I've been hooked since the Yukon 1898 and Dawson City ones!
Your welcome.
