In this mine exploration, we visit a mine that turned out to be one of our favorites. After driving the Jeep to the end of a desert road, we follow an old pack trail up to the mine. First, we come to a very sturdy explosives magazine below a large waste rock pile. After checking the bunker out, we find the portal, which is mostly eroded shut. After sliding in through the portal, we were pleasantly surprised to find beautiful natural timbering and a colorful mineral vein. While making our way further into the mine, we came to a large hoist room. There is some interesting timbering there and a big sheave wheel still in it's original position. Further on, we found a short ladder that we climbed, which brought us to an interesting stope with numerous stulls and a good look at the mineral vein. After returning to the main level we found another vertical shaft going down and a long set of ladders going up. We climbed up the long set of ladders and found a cool upper level. We hope you enjoy the video!
