BC Mining Museum

Halfway up the road to Whistler is the former Britannia Mine, now open to the public. We stopped by on Saturday for a look-see.


The biggest truck I have ever seen.


A huge drill that could cut through feet of rock like butter.


One reason mining was and is a very dangerous business!


And we saw the spookiest building ever. It has been used in many horror movies and the X-files. And on those spooky stairs, our tour guide made the Guinness book of world records for sending a slinky down the entire staircase.
