Been Interested in Lost leechtown tunnel for at least two years.
If the area is locked via TW. A prospector or hunting guide should be able to obtain a key. The reason I heard the area is locked is because it is a watershed for Victoria. TW doesn't run clandestine mining operations. They don't really know about treasure hunting or that nonsense. They lock gates to minimize risk and consequence, via wood-thieves , pyros, hunters, and other general public from injury or death.
If anyone could just post the GPS, co-ords or lat and long, I am very interested in looking at this area. It could be already going to it's second pass for harvesting. However, TW has a mandate to not log over waterways if they are going to adversely affect water quality. Especially if fish are present.
Not actually true. It's just the land 1-1&1/2 hours from most urban areas is.
From what I read, Apparently Ed Mullard's hunting partner was a Mclaren. The Times Colonist made an excursion to survey mountain. The Weeks Lake Property is the latest addition to the Victoria watershed. This was previously a seasonal cottage for a leechtown family named Weeks.
If anyone is willing to divulge any new information, I am extremely interested and within the means physically and logistically to pursue this venture.
This is of great interest to myself personally, and I know of at least 2 other able-bodied whom are interested.
Thanks
