It takes a lot of effort to survive and subsist in this kind of environment. The lure of the gold was strong to the old-timers and that was their primary reason for being here - for venturing thousands of miles from home to an unknown, isolated country.
We've got things a little easier thanks to modern technology and transportation routes, but the gold is still pervasive. Here's an inside look at some of the mining activities in this wonderful area of the province.

Most people consider that the value of a project like this is the gold that is dug out of the ground. While we can attach a monetary value to gold as well as other material possessions, it's just a means to an end.
The real treasure isn't always in the ground - it's in the people that make this land their home. Here you can learn a little about the personalities by taking a behind-the-scenes look at who we are and how we came together on this project.
Locals feel a strong connection to the land and the animals that live here. It's hard to travel through this area without seeing signs of the wildlife that lives here. It's even harder to live here and not interact with the animals. They're part of everyday life. Whether it's the dall sheep seen venturing down to the roads in their search for salt licks or Victoria the moose, mother to twins, who often ventures into camp. Find out more about how we strive to co-exist with the wildlife in the McDame Creek Valley!
Every Monday, we select a "Photo of the Week" to display on the hollowaybar.com home page. Sometimes the pictures are of area scenery, of people, of animals, or of the mining operations.
