| | | Posted by A. Lien Nice work guys, I'm digging the ectoplasm and face in the last shot. Seriously, well done.
| Thanks! I didn't even notice the face until you mentioned it. Maybe it's the ghost of some long forgotten sewer worker. About the book: At least about 12 years ago, when Capital Iron did some changes, (I think it was when they excavated to put in the lower outdoor public area), many bones and artifacts were found. A stop work order and some issues ensued, if I remember right, and archeologists were allowed to look for stuff. The whole area is just stacked like a layer cake with Native history. And then our beer bottles, Model T's railway ties etc. I should/will just read the book already.
| That's interesting! I was always under the impression that the main settlement was at Cadboro Bay and they came to Camosack to practice agriculture and trade with Esquimalt. Sounds like it will be an interesting read. If anyone wants to go to Uplands Midden and do some excavation I'm up for it. Anyone know of any other good middens that are accessible?

| | | Posted by -blitzkrieg- so im a long time reader of this forum, never been to any of these locations but im really interested in checking some of these out, ive been out looking for places, found some entrances but never been prepared to go in, anyone willing to show me around?
| Welcome, blitzkrieg. I'd be interested to see what you've discovered. Take the initiative! Get some rubber boots, a good friend and lots of flashlights. Hell, the first time I went I was solo. Very creepy. Post some pics of your adventures here. Check out the Hall of Wonders first. Go to the archives. Offer some interesting information you've discovered or an old story from an acquaintance. Once you prove you're not a narc you may get some offers. NinjaKlutz, we'll have to figure that one out. The Darkie is a nice stroll and SourDiesel wants to go back there too. Or maybe that area in Fairfield.

| | | Posted by -blitzkrieg- sour diesel and my self checked out the douglas darkie last night,should be some pictures soon, im pretty sure most people who frequent this forum have already been there though. i was also wondering if anyone has been to the goldstream goldmine? ive been there and been into the one part that is open but there is a vertical mine shaft that drops about 20 feet down then you can see a tunnel leading off somewhere, anyone know whats down there?
| Our good friend Ross Crockford details this sort of adventure on his blog, Unknown Victoria. These places are extremely dangerous, even for pros, so my suggestion is that you read and then re-read the blog post, and then read it again. Then take some time to consider what it might be like sprawled out on the floor of a deep shaft, far from where anyone can hear your pitiful cries for help.
