Miss Busy was working with me all day, she seem to know the importunes of the job we were doing today ! She watched over me very close today working around the river !
Bridge Work Crew
The bridge is our life line ! Wow the old days and a tramline and wow happy we had that ! We take good care of our bridge ! It was last spring first trip in with Glaza and Miss Busy when I stepped and went right threw the deck and was very lucky I did not brake a leg and or tear my balls off ! Not good for Miner Man ! I was glad it was me and not Glaza. I did a repair then on it, but to day I went and did a good proper repair on it and got it looking good and safe to travel on !

Classic Videos – Slingin’ and Shakin’
Welcome back to the Holloway Bar theater!
This week, we’ve got the world’s largest helicopter slinging equipment into a now-abandoned mega-gold mine, then we fire up a gold plant to shake things up before a couple of timelapse videos take the screen…
Enjoy this week’s video presentations!
The MI-26 is currently working on the $2 billion NovaGold mine in Northern BC. It’s able to lift 20,000 kg, more than any other helicopter! We caught it coming into one of the staging areas for this current megaproject.
After Scott and Del moved the mining location and shaker plant to a spot right below Webcam 9, I thought the digging would make an interesting time lapse as you’d actually be able to see how they dig and mine – filling in the hole with the cat as the hoe moves around. We did have a few problems with the webcam (the lines you see running across the screen), but you can still see what’s happening… The winter snows hit towards the end of the video, signallying an end to the 2009 mining season. This short video was made entirely from webcam shots – no fancy camera work, Enjoy!
Swirling fog makes for a great time-lapse video. I captured a few hours worth from one of my Terrace webcams to make this short video.
The images for this video came from the first webcam we installed in the Yukon. I waded through a year’s worth of images and selected one from each day as close to 9:00 am as I could. This is the result. There was no logic behind the 9:00 am choice – I’m sure other time slots would have worked well also – but there are some interesting shots (even a couple of snow plows in the “right locations” to make it look like a couple of sequential shots although they’re a day apart) and some beautiful skies. One thing is for sure – it’s easy to appreciate the long winters and short summers when you can watch the snow as part of the picture in one form or another from September until May…
