SONGKRAN WATER FESTIVAL 

Khon Kaen 

During our visit to  KhonKaen in April 13 to 15 2017 we attended the Songkran Water festival or Thailand New Year. This was the most unbelievable event with 100+/- thousands a people. All smiling all having a great time but all soaking wet from the water fights. So many bandstands playing music was amazing time. 
So many beautiful Thai girls and woman getting soaked and dancing. But I won't forget all the boys and men all having great time. Thai People and a few westerners Young and Old something you need to experience. Come enjoy the event and the music I uploaded. Due to copyright and background noises I used other music that seems to suit. Please Share, Like, Thumbs Up, Comment and subscribe for more adventures.
I will be back to Songkran 2018!!!

We return to Elliot Lake up in northern Ontario (my home town) to the abandoned mine of Bi Ore.
It is north of the city about an hour drive past the now torn down Uranium Mines. The bugs were bad so we had to cover up. To get to the mine is about a 20 minute walk to the lake the mine faces. Lot of old relics around and the old fireplace from the manages office I think. Some old machinery you can see that on a video previous to this one. We ventured to the beach and I checked to see the old entrance shaft to the mine which has been sealed last trip.
Surprised to see the shaft has been dug out after probably 40 yrs ago since buried up for safety. I think it should be opened but a locked steel gate installed as it has lots of history and great tourist attraction. Safety first as it is dangerous. We tried to find the mined cut on top of the mountain I seen back in the 1980s but was so dangerous of a climb and only the two of us way back in the bush. This our second attempt to find it but only get Busted again!!
It was an eventful day and was nice to feel the cool breeze come out of the old shaft after those many years. Maybe we be back again to try to get to the cut in the rock!!!!

Al Capone his Final Secret Hideout!

During a rainy weekend of camping we wanted to search the area around the Barry's Bay to get out of the camp area and do some exploring. Stopping by an information booth we read an article about Al Capone and he resided in this area?
Finding the area of this allusive hideout we visited a nearby village and began to search.
After talking to a few locals of the where about, then to go here and there getting lost for hours we  found it! Since its on Private Property and we did get caught trespassing. After a while we got permission to video and photograph the outside and interior of this hideout. The property owner did confirm that it was once Al Capone's Cabin/lodge.
The cabin is very long and main room has this magnificent fireplace. I can imagine seeing Al and his Gangsters sitting around and planning their next venture. From research after I found out that Al Capone did reside in this cabin after he went to jail in Alcatraz and other prisons. He came up to Canada for some reason probably just to hide out. The area of the cabin is on a side of a hill and at that time probably no other homes or cabins around. The nearby village is very small and middle of
nowhere too.  The general store does have an display of Al Capone so more proof he resided in the area. 
 From the video you can see us venture inside. The rooms have been lived in and party in over the years but are in fairly good shape but some holes in floor. I wasn't sure if safe so we didn't venture to far and our flash lights not the greatest. In the kitchen floor is a trap door going into the basement. Supposedly their is an escape tunnel leading away from the cabin. The windows are made lower to the floor for also an easy escape. Reading about this cabin and people who knew Al Capone he did
have many visitors and was a hangout for parties. 
So enjoy the video and leave some questions if you like.
