wow you were quick about gettin those pics uploaded , I haven't even had a chance to get my pics off of the camera and then I will attempt to upload my pic contributions tonight or tomorrow morning. Other than that it was a great trip and I can't wait to find the large entrance so we can get the explorers in the mountain.

Whare`s your pics Allan? 
Anyway, the mine is gated now, and a local company is tearing down the buildings for scrap, so that`s that.
I went out this weekend and in lieu of more pics, I`ve put together a video with some footage from the Zum, Zoa, and Vicuna trail, and the Coqhihalla Canyon where I camped. I also threw in some footage from other places..

for videos I have made search "Exploduer" on youtube.

Very cool pics of the mines. How far do you guys go in? That would be a great rush to go exploring.

So I'm sure you had flash lights, did you tie a rope to eachother just incase? Did you go down any ladders or up?? For some reason that just facinates me.

Moab, love to go again, perhaps in a couple years. I`m so close to all sorts of wheeling since I moved so I have a backlog of trips to make right now. One I`m wanting to do is a two-day trail called the Whipsaw, which is kind of famous around these parts, then there`s tons of other backroads to explore very close to home.
-cheers
PS. how`s your dope fiend buddy doin? Tell him I said high!
Allan, sorry to hear about the Ex..

Whipsaw
This trail enters and exits near Penticton BC.
I`ve wanted to do the trail for ever so I tried to hook up with some members of bc4x4.com. Unfortunately they all left the day before, but travelling with another member I met online we eventually caught up with them not quite at the half way point. Seemed the snow was too crazy even the day before but just overnight a ton had melted. Made me glad go later. They were friendly but I had my son with me and couldn't party at all. To top it off Riley and I regretfully had an accidental fire and are actually lucky we didn't start a forest fire much to the dismay of the large group.
But other than that it was indeed the best trip I`ve had in BC. It was awesome! This is where explorerforum should have it`s next big run!
It starts on logging road then up into the alpine on old roads, dips down into a valley to Wells lake which has tons of camping areas, then up a long hillclimb to Alpine again, then down back towards Princeton.
Snow, water, mud, rocks, awesome terrain changes.
I want to make it at least a yearly trip, the trailhead is about an hour and a half from here.
Well blah blah, check it out
