@Shaneralls_Fishing 7 месяцев назад

All of y’all’s videos are so awesome. I really enjoy the hunting and fishing videos but the ghost town videos, the old water park video the old mining town videos and now the Schmidt tunnel video is so cool. Thank you for bringing all of this to the American public. Actually, to the world again, God bless you Senior, for raising your family right in the outdoors, and thank you for influencing the next generation to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

Mining Engineer here -- So those veins you stumbled into at 12:00 are *EXACTLY* what you want to see when prospecting for precious metals. Not sure if there was gold in those specific veins you found, but it definitely looked like there were some green copper minerals there for sure - and copper frequently occurs alongside silver and gold in mineral veins. Fascinating channel here, thanks for sharing!!

@timduke4616 6 месяцев назад

My mans, the comment I was looking for👏🏻👏🏻 I feel like he found a little bit of ore and was determined to find the “mother load “ and went gold crazy, that was his motivation to keep digging

@dispohero1 7 месяцев назад

I was a caretaker at Bickel Camp for six months . Loved every second of it. Walter Bickel and Burro Schmidt were neighbors and assisted each other on a daily basis. Walter Bickel would harden the steel chisels for Burro. He also taught Burro how to use dynamite!

@tripac3392 6 месяцев назад

My dad needed to get gas near red rock canyon and he saw the poster about the human mole, asked the gas station clerk about it and he gave him directions to get there. He would take all us kids up there, his wife was still alive she would give a tour for a donation. Good times. No one really knew about the place so it was very exclusive. We went to red rock every year. Miss those days.

Been to Burro Schmidts mine many times. Always had a large dog leading the tour. I learned how to swim in a Sheep spring as sheep herders still come through every year herding sheep. If you time it right, you can see them off of 395. So, search that out. Can you imagine herding sheep through this beautiful desert.

Discovered this in 1975. There was an old, eccentric woman who lived nearby who had old bathtubs all over her property. If you brought her a duck or goose from a city park, she'd make you a meal and let you stay overnight. We were 18 and she was a real trip (as we said back.then). Great video. Thank you.

@AndrewNobleOfficial 7 месяцев назад

My guess would be he somewhat knew how far in he was based off the trek over the top. He could most likely pace it off on the inside and then over the top to get an idea of how far he was. Even still that's an amazing feat to complete!

@wheelchair_charlie 7 месяцев назад

The end of the tunnel looked like it was only a few feet under the top of the mountain? I do like the theory that he used that as an excuse to simply mine in peace under the guise that he was tunneling a shortcut through? I guess moral of the story would be, 38 years of digging is terrible for your back! Very interesting video. Thx Sin City!

@manderson3231 7 месяцев назад

I think he was finding gold in there, mining it, and just telling people he wanted to go through that mountain, not around it. Just think about it. As hard work as it was, he continued after the road was built. He was mining in there! No doubt.

@Kozycz 6 месяцев назад

That’s kinda what I was thinking. He likely was somewhat motivated to get through the mountain, but he was definitely getting enough ore from that tunnel/mine to support himself and continue to do it. The last hundred yards or so was shear fucking will to make it to the other side though.

That area is called “Last Chance Canyon “. My dad took us kids to that area back in the 60’s and 70’s. I have seen the tunnel when there were tracks for the mine carts. Someone stole everything. It’s amazing how straight the tunnel is. If you walk the entire length, you can see the opening where you entered.

Grew up in Ridgecrest. Used to go out to the tunnel occasionally. Remember some folks living in that house, they sold snacks and sodas. Wonder what happened to them. They kept the place in order. Think there was a well there too. Great video!

@siseley1 7 месяцев назад

the Woman who lived there was "Burro's" grand Niece. Her name was Toni Seegar. She lived in the house She built out there, and Schmidt lived in the auxillary building next to it. The equipment sheds were torn apart by the vandals from the Motorcycles, after Toni passed away. I first went out there when my Dad was an officer at the then new China Lake called NOTS then. My Dad would take his three sons out Chuckar hunting, and exploring in 1953-1956 while we were stationed out there. Schmidt found several gold strikes and that was how he made his living along with working on the railroad in Saltdale, and cowboying in Red Mountain at Blacks Ranch. The tunnel has collapsed several times. And the entrance used to be down by the buildings. I have been going out to the ElPaso Mtns for almost 70 years, and know of MANY ore mines, adits, and settlements like Goler Gulch, and Holland Camp, Colorado Camp, and Ricardo, which is now the state park campground.

Someone who studies European history, this story truly encapsulates the American spirit of the time. A fascinating thought that, sure it's a fool hardy thing to do, but Schmidt's determination saw this tunnel actuelly finished. If only there was an in-depth journal or biography on this guy's life, to know his thoughts and such.
