Another Hello...

[MrWilson]

Just thought I'd make a shout out and say hi to everyone in these forums.

I've lived in Nanaimo my entire life and am an avid Geocacher, which is how I discovered this forum.

As I like to say, Happy Caching!

Howdy, howdy...

What sorts of interesting things have you found in your geocaching adventures?

I've found many interesting things on my adventures, especially in the Tulameen/Princeton area... Old coal mines, KVR trestles, old root cellars, explored hedley and a nearby mine. Not to mention some cool places in Nanaimo.

I was just saying Hello, have never tried "geocaching" but you sure make it sound interesting. I am retired and will have free time. The wife still wants to work and is presently looking. What web site would you recommend for a newbie?

I lived in Princeton for a couple of years, ( In the Tunnel Area) Never geocached but did a lot of exploring on dirtbikes with a metal detector and found a lot of neat stuff. Even found an abandoned steam donkey/drill rig in the hills above Coalmont...

You found a mine? Were you able to enter it? Sounds both dangerous and interesting.

Here are some pictures of it, it's called Frenchy's Mine I think.




Didn't have flashlights so we could only go as far as the sunlight let us, pretty cool though.
