During our 2nd day at Barkerville we explored the mining aspect for gold.
Prosperous miners were able to afford a wheel barrow to help carry their belongings
The waterwheel show
Where to bring your gold for evaluation
Our stagecoach ride through Main St
Riding shotgun
Thirsty after a hard ride
After underground mining died down, miners turned to hydrolic mining
A trip to the cemetry. Average age 32
There were many unmarked grave sites
We ran out of cash. Extra work was available
Our B and B hostess also worked the post office. She is applying the Barkerville stamp on the postcards we mailed before leaving town
