400 bucks, yikes

[darylfn]

Does anyone know how Bill Barlee is doing? Haven't heard anything about him for years.

[reecerocket]

If any one has purchased the series, and lives near Vancouver, I'd be willing to pay 50 dollars to burn the discs.

[reecerocket]

You can call this number 1-888-762-4535 to order the series from chbc news.

[taranis1964]

You can still order video's through chbc tv's website.

@taranis1964 Please post the link to the sales site so that others may order the tapes/discs. Thanks.

[taranis1964]

@TrikesAndTrails I tried to post the link to web site but I kept getting an error message. Perhaps I'm not allowed to post links to certain sites? If you Google CHBC Television Kelowna you'll find the site. Near the bottom of the home page there is a link to "videos for sale".

[frankbaloney]

@taranis1964 Do you have a link for ordering? I cannot find any links on their main site..

[taranis1964]

@frankbaloney The link is on the main page. Scroll down towards the bottom past Traffic/Bridgecam. It's right below Contests and Extras. It's small - just says Videos for Sale. That will take you to the page with ordering info. Hope that helps.

I enjoyed this show when it was running, these guys were exceptional at this. Does anyone have any idea if the series is available in any format? sounds unlikely as I have tried numerous routes with no joy.

[TrikesAndTrails]

@frankbaloney Years ago, CHBC had VHS compilations available. They are no longer available. This video came from an old tape of tv shows that I dug up a while ago. I have a few more episodes, just need the time to transfer and post them! : )

I never missed these shows when they were on the air. B.C. has an amazing history and these guys nailed it when they talked about it.

[bcgirl1234]

Great Memories of this show.

Gromitdog your a DUMB ASS, LOL!

[Gromitdog1]

ever wonder if these guys just make this shit up as they go? how can one person know so much about so many different places?

[TrikesAndTrails]

Research. Libraries, newspaper archives, family and oral histories for a start. This is what historians do.

[newcoyote]

@Gromitdog1 Bill Barlee was also BC minister of Tourism and Culture from 1993 until 1996.

@Gromitdog1

some people have made a living and in doing so, to be good, they did extensive researching. Be happy you do not have to pay them money for their knowledge... may your pan be shiny, full of it (pun intended) but seriously, wishing you the best life offers. Positive strokes, positive results in the end (pun intended). My THANX to 'T&T'.

[koonasplymouth]

Interesting show. I like these old gold stories. Keep em' coming.
