- Quesnel Forks (#8): After mining several tons of gold, Chinese miners returned to China with their riches. Several years later they returned only to find that their landmarks had been destroyed by fire. After 70 years of searching, the site has never been located again.
Thank you for posting these shows. I used to watch Gold Trails every morning and have a great difficulty finding complete episodes.
Quesnel Forks is an amazingly well preserved ghost town on the back road to Baskerville. The preservation society of Likely deserve a thank you for all their efforts. I too visit it every year, must admit when I first went there it had a feel of a true deserted Ghost Town now, not so much - actually saw a motorhome there last year...
Once again, a big thank you to Colin for posting these episodes, having a great time viewing.
Wow. These productions offer a wealth of information about the history in our back yard.
Brilliant story telling. I love the history of BC
I hope bill barlee had a chance to see the restorations done at the forks . They are phenomenal! Was just there last weekend and everything including the cedar chinking or siding pieces the redid authentically.
Fantastic! I've always wanted to see this one. We go to Quesnel Forks every year. :-) Thank you for posting this.
Love these true tales
That oddly shaped bottle is to keep the cork wet and swollen which keeps the contents from spoiling.
Bill sure did know his stuff I have panned in some of the sites he talked about I did not hit it big but I did find some nice small nuggets and flakes Bill will be missed if you would like to try panning watch these videos Bill gave good info about were to look
👍👍🌟🌟👍👍
When did this series air ? Was it on Canadian network tv ? I dont recall ever watching it.
86 to 96 I think
It was produced by CHBC, the local Kelowna TV station serving the Okanagan. CHBC is now Global Okanagan, I believe.
