This is called "hole in the wall".
We drove past this spot on our ride yesterday. It's part of the Kettle Valley railway line, it's decommissioned now (1911 to 1933). The KVR is a historic area now especially the tunnels but you have to drive through one of them for this ride.
I actually did what this guy in the video did. Crawled down to have a look.
This railway and the tunnels are near my house. The first couple of tunnels are in town.
Sylvester Stallone shot the "First Blood" movie out there near the tunnels.
A few stories about him in this town. Azzhole broke a bunch of his ribs jumping into a tree for the movie LOL. To cool for a stuntman to do it for him.

pretty cool, how far is that from your place?

We unload the machines about a 15-20 minute drive from my house. It's just up the Coquihalla hwy at the Caroline mines turn off. If you stayed on the hwy those lakes are right along side the hwy and they are about a 35-40 minute drive from my house. You can actually rent one of those cabins if you wanted. Certain times of the year the mosquitoes are bad but it's been so hot an dry here it must have killed them all LOL. There were none on our ride.

Mosquito time is usually about 1/2 hour before and after sunset, at least that is what I have found, if you were there mid day, they pretty much hang out around the water.

I found out yesterday that the ride was actually a bit of an illegal one.
I didn't know that they designated that area a historic park now.
That means NO motorized vehicles. It's a $600 fine . Apparently the police on their atv's were patrolling it and a few guys have already been fined. Not sure when the govt did that. You are allowed to go as far as "hole in the wall" which is one of the links posted. After that it's park. Looks like I won't be going on that ride anymore. That's ok because lots of other places to go around here but my brother and I confine our rides to about a half dozen places that we know we have enough fuel for.

just saw your vac former... very cool. I have to find your details on the vac motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) you are using. It looks like its working very good, that was a very deep draw.

I'm just using my 2hp shop vac and it's worn out LOL.
You have to remove the filter or you won't get good suction on your shop vac.
I did make provisions for a vacuum tank but don't need it.

Yep pretty cool. I have a central vac motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? ))/pump here that i use for cnc parts hold down... I figured you'd need similar but that shop vac is pulling it down tight.
