Back, way back, when there were caves. That roar of the timber going down that ore chute, sounded like a dragon. This probably where the myth of dragons in caves came from. They surely took a lot of ore out of here. Made it to the shaft lift room, amazing, nice. Neat going.
Sad to see the last of Pam. Besides being an extra person who is asking good questions, it was nice having her in the shots. It gives you the visual cues that help you get a better perspective of the size of the area and grade of the slopes. Hope she comes around again some day.

The wife's grandfather worked the HB mine and he always talked about how big and how rich the ore was in this mine. He had a house on the tailings pond near Salmo,BC and he gave us a large sample of this ore--quite amazing! Thanks for giving us the ability to see it through your video.
Another great video Frank, It was nice to meet Pam and get another persons taken on what you do. It's a shame she has decided not to come back but I wish her well in everything she does.
Well, I guess this video answers the question I had asked about you and Pam in another video back in July. I enjoyed seeing her and admire her adventurous spunk n' spirit! She was truly a rose among the thorns in your videos!
Really enjoyed the video Frank, I think the drone footage and review at the beginning is helpful in letting us see how far you have to hike before you even get in to a mine, and the scenic shots always look stunning. The size of the areas mined out and those rooms are massive, and when you rolled that rock the sound of it rolling and bumping down was quite eerie. Thank you Frank and Pamela for this video, it was interesting and fun to watch. All the best to Pamela and to you also Frank. None of us ever know what the future holds, so embrace each day and every opportunity that comes along. ❤️❤️
I can't get over the size of the excavations in just about every mine you explore. It's impossible for me to imagine that those huge 'rooms' were once solid rock. Once the blasting and mucking it done it looks like falls would be the biggest risk to a miners health. It's too bad the mines are so wet causing wood structures like stairs and ladders to rot. Thanks for sharing your explorations.
These mines have been abandoned for more than 50 years so it is understandable that the infrastructure has deteriorated. Yes the size and scope of these stopes are amazing you really get that being there.
Left that broke axe behind, eh? I can dig it. Or u sure can pick 'em. Alrite, enuff badaxe jokes. She seemed like a cool enuff lady, & from our limited perspective, u both seemed to have some genuinely fun times together. But I certainly know how fast times can turn, & paths deviate, for whatever reason. Who knows what the future holds? U rock, Frank, & we dig watching u crawl around amidst rocks others have dug. Plenty adventure on the horizon, & we'll be watching. Carry on w/yr bad self...
@@tinytattoomike7943 Hmm, I once knew a Mike Rusch. His grandfather would drive him out to the field our r/c flying club used in Hemet and the kid would fly his Sweet Stick like a pro. I swore he must've practiced in his sleep! If this is the same Mike Rusch, it'd be nice to hear from you. I think you'll remember me. Hopefully. Maybe. ...maybe not. Still, it'll be interesting to swap stories about the last nearly 40 years! Wow, last time I saw you, you weren't old enough to get a drivers license! I guess you probably got old, huh? ;)
Hi Frank And PamelaGreat video and footage of the mine.Great finds to take home.Can not wait for the next video.Good Luck and safe trip in to the next mine
Not really it was a hard thing for me to except, I loved her a lot.......it was a bitter pill to swallow. Basically she just got bored with me I guess.
@@exploringabandonedmines women often do that. I was married to a romanian woman for 18 years, i thought we hard it nice together - one day she suddenly said she wanted to divorce, just like that. I was a shock for me. Now i am married again, with a thai woman this time - and i hope it will last for ever. Good luck Frank :)
@@exploringabandonedmines ... Don't give up Frank! I know from personal experience that you never know what life has in store for you just around the corner!
@@exploringabandonedmines It's not nice breaking up I was married for 20 years and it was real hard at first not having her around but it gets easier. And as Tennyson said "It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. You'll always have the good memories.
Cool, I been there. I went a little ways into the portal you went through. I ended up going back and went in through a lower portal that was made of concrete.
Super crazy long drop in the deep shaft. That was freaky. The audio alone triggers a vertigo like feeling for me while seeing you near the edge. I wonder if the bottom is flooded or dry down there. One thing is for sure - Pam was braver than most would be to make it that far underground with you. Impressive adventures.
That is slick grey rock.. Odd. What ore were they after??? Good luck PAM. Hope you both stay friends....Pam .. I graded lumber for over 20 years. A female was the honcho in the pallet section. Nothing but respect for you gals. Good luck if we don't see you again.
The 🐀 in chicago are huge! I was born and raised in the suburbs of chicago...I gotta make my way out there..no one here will do any of these cool things with me, wusses!! Lol..I love abandoned properties too
Exploring Abandoned Mines yea they’re nasty!!! 🤣...people seem to be gator dinner lately, scary! They’re everywhere 😩i live in central florida not near any lakes or anything..i walk around the springs here too, look them up , so beautiful and a lot of old history 😁
Never judge a book by it's cover Good Luck to you two . Couples grow together or apart and for good reasons we are all damaged goods. God Bless You Two Take care be well.
*"Moria ... You fear to go into those mines...! The dwarves delved too greedily, and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-Dûm ... Shadow and Flame..."*

Great explore, i always love when you explore the HB Mine, so why is this Pam's last Mine ? well not my business really, was a real pleasure having her on the show as sort of a sidekick aspect to you, you both made a great team, best of luck Pam.
Sorry Frank. Your perfect match is waiting for you. We'd all love to see you happy (happier) with "the one". I just found mine, and there's nothing like being with someone who really gets you, and shares your interests. Best of luck with everything. Will be watching!
Most importantly, did the bulbs work? Sounds like you have more fun when it's two of you. Amazing how big some of thes places are, would multiple levels be active at the same time or would they slowly work down as they go? In the UK we have some massive slate mines in Wales, they are a sight to be seen.
nice video frank, sad shes not interested in your ventures anymore, but, she lasted longer then most women i have known would have, the few who would out last her wouldnt quit, if only out of stubborn pride, but mostly because they are as crazy/crazier then you are... (when you watch your female friend free climb the side of beacon rock, on a god damn lark..coming back hours later with over 20 climbing carabeaners as well as petons and even 2 climbing picks... and a huge grin on her face.. all we kept saying "well, if she falls we will see and hear it" since we couldnt see her... even the people who went up the trail couldnt find/see her.... crazy c..t...i love her...though shes WAY to type A for me... 3hrs sleep a night=falling asleep sitting up after a couple days for me... she rarely gets more then 3hrs a night... and ready to go... ugg... i also hate her.... she can eat anythign and...cannot gain weight.... haha...) anyway, good video, hope she dosnt have flashbacks to endless ladders in the dark every time she sees you :P
That looks like a native oil lamp yep it was one day relic hum! , they may have found it in a established cave network , But yes she looks concerned and maybe she is thinking. This is for some one not me , myself I would develop claus·tro·pho·bi·aDictionary result for claustrophobia. /ˌklôstrəˈfōbēə/ Well Thank you so much for the walk this how I get out and I live my life through you lolol . But still I have mad respect for what you do with the bats bless you ,, and what ever deities you fallow many blessings ,, you would love =3> France the old catacombs under the city , people go in but don’t come out . There was a tv news guy want in and got lost and MIA!.... thank you . Black dog down... 73”s.
@@exploringabandonedmines They have a tour but if you want to 'explore' they have some You Tubers who put out some videos on their explores & maybe if you try contacting them they could hook you up with a safer explore. There are tunnels under New York City that folks don't want people to know about. Where the water is in Central Park & the hilly rocks are there is a cave but the only enterence I knew was sealed up by the cops or someone but I bet there would maybe be another way to get in somewhere. There are alot of hidden cematary tombs in New York & under ground passage ways. Maybe start with a thing I think,it's called 'Marble Cematary', then there should be more sites on cematarys which who knows maybe they used an underground cave, I wouldn't know, just guessing.
@@exploringabandonedmines It is very easy to get lost down there. Many folks have gone in and not come out. They have a tour. There are videos about it somewhere on You Tube, maybe they could hook you up. Or maybe in some Speak Easys, Clubs, maybe someone would agree to take you to the big train (?) tunnel place & they slip down a small hole & into the catacombs. It is very, very dangerous and one can easily get lost. Please be careful and maybe just take the tour.
@@exploringabandonedmines I know this is 7 months late but as I was exploring high above the Verde River in Arizona, I had just looked over the side and it was straight down to the river. A sheer drop of a very long ways. I then discovered a chimney that dropped down into a cave and of course I was looking for Indian caves so I dropped down into it. The entrance was straight out into thin air above the Verde, the drop I had just been looking at when from the back of the darkness came a growl from a Bobcat, it wasn't deep enough for a Cougar. Having no flashlight and being young and stupid I threw a rock back into the darkness, the growl became louder, I threw another and the growl became very loud. I think it was the third rock when I stopped, maybe the fourth. I finally came to my senses and climbed back out the chimney. Thank goodness as I am alive today, if that cat had come out at me I would have run out the entrance into the air to my death. I'm sure Frank that you are not that stupid, at least not since you were a kid. Sorry to see Pam leave, yes she was great .Not many women like her.
Are shirts and hoodies still available? Man winter is coming and can't roll in the Jeep topless and door less without my official Exploring Abandoned Mines gear
its called a joke, as in, "she found out what happened to max, and didnt want to be next" now, that joke is funny to me for several reasons... 1. i genuinely know people who would use that as an excuse , or joke after they chickened out. 2. she wouldnt go walking off in the dark alone, let alone running, so, saying something like that would be saying she had less common sense then she already was demonstrating. 3. come on, it sad max died, but, the kinda humans who, as anything but small children, who would do that to themselves... well i think if they did, its darwin award material, and proof they prob shouldnt spread those genes around... anything but a mine.... and, omg, i genuinely have known adults who where that kinda dumb-stupid, who somehow survive to die of old age... despite their total lack of reasoning/logic/sense....common or otherwise...
Una Salus "now, that joke is funny to me for several reasons... " Same here. Not for exactly those reasons, but more or less.... I viewed it as completely harmless. I took it in the sense of the boyfriend/husband pet jokes. Those jokes turn on the premise that women judge men on how well they treat their pets, because that's how they'll treat their kids and wives. Put Max in that context, and, well, if it was black humor, the punch line would be something like "Honey, what kind of life insurance did you have on Max?"
up here in the high dessert way too Much Unstable as Hell TNT in Sawdust Don't TOUCH It!! IT'S Not Gonna Let ya Leave Alive REALLY Please Don't go Exploring Old Mines!! So Manny Out Here in Nevada Holes Drop 100's of Feet Bellow Ya. Dead Man's Drop SPLAT!! You Will not be going home Might get a Hole named After Ya😂☠️💀👻
@@eleventeenmachine5991 yes sir Ive very carfully explored a couple around colville of hwy395 that i was shown by minners & some on the backside of bridgeport/Aurora/Masonic. 1 I later went to,@ I allways thump the ground for hollow sounds. When they sealed it I had walked over a Deep covered down shaft it had 3/4ply @ 10inch of dirt Lucky me.A lot hundreds had been in there. I usally send the dog 1st for rattlers. Love your work! Gotta go taking care of mom. I'm a cali native here in reno since 97
I allso was shown some old workings off of millcreek rd that big time professional firms had bought temp rights from a old world wide minning Fart that didn't listen drove lots of tunnel still missed it after he told where to go. O well there lease ran out he went under millcreek rd LOTs O Gold When it was $$$$he died much richer still being worked by one local richer kid. There are several big mines up the road. There was a shitload of weeping TNT protected by just a plywood door Now Gone told the law it was there could see tools and such left it alone. How they took it without going boom don't know lucky mo fos. PLEASE STAY SAFE/ALIVE!!!
@@tedrobinson5743 ok cool. My inlaws moved to Reno a few months ago and I was there in September. We went to the Chollar mine in Virginia City. It's not a worthwhile trip. Just a couple hundred foot long tunnel under main st is what's left of it. And it's just a $15 ish tourist attraction. Not a spec compared to the Wieliczka and Bochnia salt mines in Poland. Those are freaking awesome. If you ever get to go to Poland you have to go in at least the Wieliczka mine. You'll be blown away by it. It's impossible to explain. I have some video of it but it hasn't been gone through.
@@eleventeenmachine5991 sorry taking care of Mom 1st haven't been on line lately. I've been in a few around Brigeport Can also a couple of friends of Millcreek Rd off hwy395 Walker Can area bad leg lately slowing me down A Bit, also kinda freaked my self out a mine near Masonic I'd been in a lot found out I'd been walking over a 100ft down shaft covered with 1inch marineplywood I always thump ground with iron rod always sounded Solid. They have since welded iron bars at entrance. I found lots of weeping Dyno off Millcreek someone has since stollen it Very Lucky Dumbass's So please try to stay Safe out/down there. Have A Good One😋
Frank i was really disappointed in that $50,000 giveaway, they picked people who already had high high dollar professional budgets to work with to begin with, it seemed very biased and in turn i was very displeased how they ran it and them only picking these people with serious high dollar productions, not fair by any means !
Oh really, i must have looked at it wrong then, the website is a lil confusing to be honest, is there a certain page i can go that they will post the winners on ? cause i was on a page that had like 12 videos and it looked like they were prize winners the way they had it setup, so excuse my misunderstanding of that, i feel a bit red faced at the moment lol.
See Frank, ya got people looking out for ya, and rooting for you. And don't worry, when the authorities ask whether anyone saw Pam come out of the HB, we'll keep the secret. I saw her at the mall this weekend. Did you have life insurance on her? This message board is members only, right?
Id like to see a you explore the Blubell Mine, at Riondel B.C., that is also a big mine. It goes under kootenay lake, it was an old mine and built the town of Riondel. Best wishes !
Back, way back, when there were caves. That roar of the timber going down that ore chute, sounded like a dragon. This probably where the myth of dragons in caves came from. They surely took a lot of ore out of here. Made it to the shaft lift room, amazing, nice. Neat going.
Your a good man brother and all your fans just want to see you happy.
amen to that
Sad to see the last of Pam. Besides being an extra person who is asking good questions, it was nice having her in the shots. It gives you the visual cues that help you get a better perspective of the size of the area and grade of the slopes. Hope she comes around again some day.

Another great video Frank, It was nice to meet Pam and get another persons taken on what you do. It's a shame she has decided not to come back but I wish her well in everything she does.
Well, I guess this video answers the question I had asked about you and Pam in another video back in July. I enjoyed seeing her and admire her adventurous spunk n' spirit! She was truly a rose among the thorns in your videos!
Yeah she was a lot of fun. Unfortunately she wasn't interested in a long term relationship. Some one else will come along sooner or later who is.
Really enjoyed the video Frank, I think the drone footage and review at the beginning is helpful in letting us see how far you have to hike before you even get in to a mine, and the scenic shots always look stunning.

I miss Pamela already ....................
Great explore, i always love when you explore the HB Mine, so why is this Pam's last Mine ? well not my business really, was a real pleasure having her on the show as sort of a sidekick aspect to you, you both made a great team, best of luck Pam.
Well it is simple. we were dating but she decided she had more important things to do.
Aww, sorry to hear that Frank :( , thank you for sharing that with me, i feel for you buddy
these mines are huge compared to California, great stuff and don't let it get you down, you Australians are a resilient people 🐭

No they do not.

What can you do?
@@exploringabandonedmines Just move on...that's all that you can do
Frank that's one big drone ..
7:58, hear the ghostly scream as the rocks fall?
cool be safe you two n ty/
8:00 you've awakened the cave trolls.
i can't believe how well the ground holds for how big the adit is 21:00
When you say "mine goes down 8 levels " is that like 8 story building but underground ?
A level is normally every 100 feet so 800 feet.
"Have some great views in this mine" 1 second later *aims camera at her butt* hmm.....
Lol
People say redheads are crazy but in my experience it's the blonds.
Well, all of them really but the
nd blonds lol
Am I the only one that cringed when she started yanking on the ceiling?
No I about died holding my breath lol
I believe Pam didn’t fully understand the risks she was taking.

wonder fo the black shred was in the bags and was used for packing the around the exploreth
You might be right. I thought it was organic.......but I might be wrong!

Well she got bored with and decided to move on. Honestly I don't know she didn't tell me either.
@@exploringabandonedmines ... So sorry Frank! 😢
Dose anyone know how they would make the “floor” in that big room so flat? Even the tunnels, they are so different from the walls
Maybe for a compressor?
Why was it pans last mine? I must have missed it.
We broke up.
Y no more mines pam??? Hope you're ok at least no one got hurt.

too bad, Pamela was a very important part of the videos.
It is a shame, I miss her.
5:48 uh oh.......
Not steep for you frank seams like less than 90° at some points
That looks like a native oil lamp yep it was one day relic hum! , they may have found it in a established cave network , But yes she looks concerned and maybe she is thinking. This is for some one not me , myself I would develop claus·tro·pho·bi·aDictionary result for claustrophobia.
/ˌklôstrəˈfōbēə/ Well Thank you so much for the walk this how I get out and I live my life through you lolol . But still I have mad respect for what you do with the bats bless you ,, and what ever deities you fallow many blessings ,, you would love =3> France the old catacombs under the city , people go in but don’t come out . There was a tv news guy want in and got lost and MIA!.... thank you . Black dog down... 73”s.
I would love to visit the catacombs!
@@exploringabandonedmines They have a tour but if you want to 'explore' they have some You Tubers who put out some videos on their explores & maybe if you try contacting them they could hook you up with a safer explore.
There are tunnels under New York City that folks don't want people to know about. Where the water is in Central Park & the hilly rocks are there is a cave but the only enterence I knew was sealed up by the cops or someone but I bet there would maybe be another way to get in somewhere.
There are alot of hidden cematary tombs in New York & under ground passage ways. Maybe start with a thing I think,it's called 'Marble Cematary', then there should be more sites on cematarys which who knows maybe they used an underground cave, I wouldn't know, just guessing.
@@exploringabandonedmines It is very easy to get lost down there. Many folks have gone in and not come out. They have a tour. There are videos about it somewhere on You Tube, maybe they could hook you up. Or maybe in some Speak Easys, Clubs, maybe someone would agree to take you to the big train (?) tunnel place & they slip down a small hole & into the catacombs. It is very, very dangerous and one can easily get lost. Please be careful and maybe just take the tour.
would be good to have a chassis of a remote controlled off road truck to let roll down the ore passes on a cord with a camera on it
I thought of that too, but itd get caught up alot and not be the easiest to haul around with you.
Where is Pamela going & what will she be doing ?
I don't know she doesn't talk to me.
@@exploringabandonedmines That's sad
Don't remind me!
Frank, you been exploding mines for quite some time now. Have you ever seen any wild life other than bat's or rat's in these mines.
Rabbits and a few deer skulls.
@@exploringabandonedmines I know this is 7 months late but as I was exploring high above the Verde River in Arizona, I had just looked over the side and it was straight down to the river. A sheer drop of a very long ways. I then discovered a chimney that dropped down into a cave and of course I was looking for Indian caves so I dropped down into it. The entrance was straight out into thin air above the Verde, the drop I had just been looking at when from the back of the darkness came a growl from a Bobcat, it wasn't deep enough for a Cougar. Having no flashlight and being young and stupid I threw a rock back into the darkness, the growl became louder, I threw another and the growl became very loud. I think it was the third rock when I stopped, maybe the fourth. I finally came to my senses and climbed back out the chimney. Thank goodness as I am alive today, if that cat had come out at me I would have run out the entrance into the air to my death. I'm sure Frank that you are not that stupid, at least not since you were a kid. Sorry to see Pam leave, yes she was great .Not many women like her.
Has there been any CONFIRMED sightings of the young lass since this video? - Chris Cramp, Atty. Dewey, Cheatham and Howe (not a sponsor) 🙋🏻♂️
I have caught the odd glimpse of her around town!
Why is she stealing shit? and so roughly she looked like she was trying pull down the ceiling...
Are shirts and hoodies still available? Man winter is coming and can't roll in the Jeep topless and door less without my official Exploring Abandoned Mines gear
Yes www.bonfire.com/franks-campaign-66/
Lol hey the way this years weather has been no telling what is going to happen. Regardless gotta have my Exploring gear to rock out in my jeep:D
LOL!
how much for one of those old ax's ?
I don't sell artifacts they go into my museum.
She probably decided this was her last show when you asked her to sign the $1,000,000.00 life insurance policy. I am joking! Sad to see you go Pamela.
What is there for rats to eat so deep in a mine?
Nothing they go to the surface during the day.
@@exploringabandonedmines ... Those little rats travel a long way each day! Thanks for the answer, love your channel!
Pam found out about Max ? 🤔
Which means what exactly?
max was his dog, that ran ahead and fell and died.
I know what happened to max, that has what to do with Pam is what I’m asking
its called a joke, as in, "she found out what happened to max, and didnt want to be next" now, that joke is funny to me for several reasons... 1. i genuinely know people who would use that as an excuse , or joke after they chickened out. 2. she wouldnt go walking off in the dark alone, let alone running, so, saying something like that would be saying she had less common sense then she already was demonstrating. 3. come on, it sad max died, but, the kinda humans who, as anything but small children, who would do that to themselves... well i think if they did, its darwin award material, and proof they prob shouldnt spread those genes around... anything but a mine....
and, omg, i genuinely have known adults who where that kinda dumb-stupid, who somehow survive to die of old age... despite their total lack of reasoning/logic/sense....common or otherwise...
Una Salus "now, that joke is funny to me for several reasons... " Same here. Not for exactly those reasons, but more or less.... I viewed it as completely harmless. I took it in the sense of the boyfriend/husband pet jokes. Those jokes turn on the premise that women judge men on how well they treat their pets, because that's how they'll treat their kids and wives. Put Max in that context, and, well, if it was black humor, the punch line would be something like "Honey, what kind of life insurance did you have on Max?"
up here in the high dessert way too Much Unstable as Hell TNT in Sawdust Don't TOUCH It!! IT'S Not Gonna Let ya Leave Alive REALLY Please Don't go Exploring Old Mines!! So Manny Out Here in Nevada Holes Drop 100's of Feet Bellow Ya. Dead Man's Drop SPLAT!! You Will not be going home Might get a Hole named After Ya😂☠️💀👻
Are you talking about the Reno and Virginia city area? I take it you don't explore any or are you referring to your discoveries?
@@eleventeenmachine5991 yes sir Ive very carfully explored a couple around colville of hwy395 that i was shown by minners & some on the backside of bridgeport/Aurora/Masonic. 1 I later went to,@ I allways thump the ground for hollow sounds. When they sealed it I had walked over a Deep covered down shaft it had 3/4ply @ 10inch of dirt Lucky me.A lot hundreds had been in there. I usally send the dog 1st for rattlers. Love your work! Gotta go taking care of mom. I'm a cali native here in reno since 97
I allso was shown some old workings off of millcreek rd that big time professional firms had bought temp rights from a old world wide minning Fart that didn't listen drove lots of tunnel still missed it after he told where to go. O well there lease ran out he went under millcreek rd LOTs O Gold When it was $$$$he died much richer still being worked by one local richer kid. There are several big mines up the road. There was a shitload of weeping TNT protected by just a plywood door Now Gone told the law it was there could see tools and such left it alone. How they took it without going boom don't know lucky mo fos. PLEASE STAY SAFE/ALIVE!!!
@@tedrobinson5743 ok cool. My inlaws moved to Reno a few months ago and I was there in September. We went to the Chollar mine in Virginia City. It's not a worthwhile trip. Just a couple hundred foot long tunnel under main st is what's left of it. And it's just a $15 ish tourist attraction. Not a spec compared to the Wieliczka and Bochnia salt mines in Poland. Those are freaking awesome. If you ever get to go to Poland you have to go in at least the Wieliczka mine. You'll be blown away by it. It's impossible to explain. I have some video of it but it hasn't been gone through.
@@eleventeenmachine5991 sorry taking care of Mom 1st haven't been on line lately. I've been in a few around Brigeport Can also a couple of friends of Millcreek Rd off hwy395 Walker Can area bad leg lately slowing me down A Bit, also kinda freaked my self out a mine near Masonic I'd been in a lot found out I'd been walking over a 100ft down shaft covered with 1inch marineplywood I always thump ground with iron rod always sounded Solid. They have since welded iron bars at entrance. I found lots of weeping Dyno off Millcreek someone has since stollen it Very Lucky Dumbass's So please try to stay Safe out/down there. Have A Good One😋
Frank i was really disappointed in that $50,000 giveaway, they picked people who already had high high dollar professional budgets to work with to begin with, it seemed very biased and in turn i was very displeased how they ran it and them only picking these people with serious high dollar productions, not fair by any means !
They haven't picked the winners yet 3 more weeks to go. Half are picked by votes and half by them 30 prizes in all.
Oh really, i must have looked at it wrong then, the website is a lil confusing to be honest, is there a certain page i can go that they will post the winners on ? cause i was on a page that had like 12 videos and it looked like they were prize winners the way they had it setup, so excuse my misunderstanding of that, i feel a bit red faced at the moment lol.
See Frank, ya got people looking out for ya, and rooting for you. And don't worry, when the authorities ask whether anyone saw Pam come out of the HB, we'll keep the secret. I saw her at the mall this weekend. Did you have life insurance on her? This message board is members only, right?
Id like to see a you explore the Blubell Mine, at Riondel B.C., that is also a big mine. It goes under kootenay lake, it was an old mine and built the town of Riondel. Best wishes !
