| Left highway at Morden Rd (bottom left) -trail from Colliery remains (blue flag) down to Nanaimo River (red flag) about 1 Km each way - then up Akenhead Rd and Cedar Rd over to Hemer Park (red flag) where we did about 4 or 5 Km thru the park and back alongside Holden Lake - then back and down Cedar Rd to the Crow & Gate (red flag) for a delicious lunch and brew. |

| Main shaft hoist structure - steam engines lifted coal up the shaft which was sunk about 600 feet down. |
 |
| Another view - is that a stairway up the left side? |

| More of nature - lots of dead salmon - a few still struggling to spawn - |
