Every year I try and spend some time exploring high up in the mountains, and finally I have had a few great opportunities in the Yukon. This site has been on my list for a long time, so it is nice to finally be able to check it off. This is the Venus Silver Mine, just outside of Carcross, Yukon. I was so amazed to see the condition of these buildings and equipment, especially given the harsh snowy winters.
The bottom location was easy to explore, being right by the highway, but to me, the highlight was to top location with the mine shaft. I enjoy the top spot mostly because the view is just so so nice, but finding that mine shaft was an absolute bonus.
I wish I had time to get an interview for this video and produce it a little nicer, but winter in sneaking in on me so fast right now. The roads in northern BC, and the Yukon have not been kind to my poor motorhome. I knew they would be rough, but they have been so bad that my heater is no longer working in the MoHo. It's on the list of things to fix once I get to Williams Lake, but let me tell you that list is starting to get pretty long.
I hope each one of you enjoys this adventure.
