Sicker easter monday

Thinking about an exploratory adventure up mt sicker on Monday. Still dont know a lot in the area but just enough to get into some fun. Looking for medium difficulty trails as I have a locker but no winch. Would love to find these old mine shafts I hear about

Hey Andrew I'm not able on Monday, however i am on the weekend. Was up Sicker a few weeks back found 1 mine and the old rail line.. There are still 4 other mines I'm wanting to find. If your free next weekend let me know.

That awesome thanks for sharing. The mines that I am most interested in finding are the old Spanish mines noted for there square entrance. Historical record shows Spanish explorers sailed along the west coast of Vancouver Island reaching as far north as Alaska in the 1700s. People have found these old mine on the Island but are keeping the exact location a secret.

Looks like I'll be working on the truck today rather than out exploring. Got a leaking transfer case that I need to get to, and might as well tackle some of my wiring problems while I'm at it. Next time!
