Going Batty Underground in Osoyoos
SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/lifeofluke
The sagebrush desert of the South Okanagan is a unique place and stacked with history. In this video I visit an underground gold mine in Osoyoos BC, which has been preserved as critical bat habitat for Townsend's Big-Eared bats. They roost and hibernate in caves and abandoned mines, so it's important not to destroy or block off the old mine. This is the first time I've seen bats in a mine I explored, which was interesting. The mine is called the Lakeview-Dividend. Filmed in 2019.
Thanks for watching!

I grew up in Oliver, and visited mines all over the place around there, but had not known that this one existed in Osoyoos.
Great footage in the mine.....very interesting
Great video.
Tons of these caves past rock creek as well.

Adits, not caves. Caves are a natural formation.
Great video Luke! Nice to see we rehabilitate some of the old mines.
Thanks for the tour.
Pre-fire ? Thanks for sharing.🤙

Yep, a ways back now in 2019 before the world turned upside down.
Never ever take your dog in a mine! They can run right into a winze!!! What were you thinking? Ive fully documented that mine. A buddy in Osoyoos built those entrance grates. Anything you want to know about mines in this area, just give me a shout.
Awesome video 👍❤

David Suzuki has retired Luke, please apply to replace him. You're perfect for the job.

Haha, I'll take it as a compliment but that dude is a hypocrite. Suzuki flies into a Vancouver news conference via floatplane, rants about 'not taking climate action seriously', then flies off again. He has made a lot of money from the environmental movement. He also said 'there are going to be pipelines blown up if our leaders don’t pay attention'. I don't want to be anything like David Suzuki.

Yeah, I know you meant that. I just wanted to clarify that Suzuki with his several multi million dollar oceanfront mansions is no role model at all.
Its not a cave, dammit!
