While Chris and Connie were staying with us in East Coulee last weekend we went exploring a few locations up and down the valley. We hiked along an old power line and found what we believe was a ventilation building for one of the mines. We also found an old tipple that would have been used to load coal onto trucks. It was an interesting day of exploring and poking around. We are trying to gain an understanding of the mining history in the valley and all of these things are pieces of the puzzle.
