My Girls

Wow what a great day with my girls. We all got our walk in today ! 

Watson Lake Yukon

I love my little home town. We have come through a very long hard winter and now that spring is here we all can get on with a little living ! Wow if you’re not living, well then you’re just what ? The parts hunt I have to tell you about.  I went in looking for saw parts not knowing if or where I was going. A place that had just changed management, I walked into that was not even open, put the big smile on, and wow there was my saw parts and everything I needed to go into the Mts. with. Watson Lake has been a hub for miners for as long as time itself !

The Do List

Top of the morning ! The honey do list is looking good. I have been a very busy guy just getting all the summers work completed before going and doing the summers work at the mine ! The shop roof was a big one ! One of the last little things was to find and buy what it takes to put a good dog run up for a young couple that are just starting out in life as a family ! Glaza has the camp food packed and I did a big truck service yesterday and it now is ready to load with mine supplies. So yes we are on the move !

Classic Videos – Around the Gold Mine

This week, come on a virtual visit to the Holloway Bar gold mine in this collection of four short videos:

Dawn is one of the most spectacular times of the day on Holloway Bar as the sun tries to poke through the swirling fog banks early in the morning. This video was captured on the morning of June 16, 2006.

Watch us set off a bear banger – intended to scare away any bears that might be giving you trouble.

I created a number of time lapse videos from the Holloway Bar portable webcam and created this video…

Just a random collection of videos about getting to and wandering around the Holloway Bar Placer Mine. In split screen format, this video has a lot happening in a short time!

Thanks for watching this week!   Stay tuned for more..
