Our exploration to an amazing abandoned gold mine from the 1890s, where they sought silver and gold in the heart of the Cascade Mountains of Washington State.
This abandoned mine has all the features an explorer enthusiast could ask for, including a rare standing cabin site and incredible mining artifacts preserved in the mine. We couldn't believe what we found left behind in this historic mine.
Watch as we discover the mining camp, navigate the original more than 100 year old miners trail that leads us to the hidden mine adit. Best of all, watch as we go underground and explore an amazing abandoned mine.
We appreciate you and thank you for watching!!

That was just awesome. Thank you for taking us along. I am clostraphobic and I was so scared as you went deeper and deeper into the mine. But I wouldn't of wanted to miss it for anything. ❤ what a gift that was to watch.

Very cool , glad to see you respecting the artifacts and structures as you did . Great video ! I have some old coal mines around me that we have found around centralia .

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington Год назад

Thank you!! Centralia is a great area we have wanted to visit. We just haven't made it out to check out.

Had to be something worth mining with as much work that went into those mining trails. Very nice

Amazing, thank you for documenting these mines! I was at one yesterday and while I did not go in - it was so impressive to think of the work that went into getting the minerals out of the site. I saw also carved into the bark of a large tree near the mine the initials NWUE 2011 - would that mean that your friend had been there at that time exploring?

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington 8 месяцев назад

Hi, yes, that would have been Northwest Underground Explorations. We may have been with them then, depending on the mine. Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate it.

Cool, been up to Pewfurs cabin, don’t know if I spelled it right, up past Sunday lake, couldn’t find mines there, you can see the cabin roof on satellite maps. There is another one up past Lennox creek valley just past Bare mountain trail you have to brush wack past on old road over the deteriorating bridge to the old trail that goes up to Anderson lake trail head at the beginning of the switch backs. You can kinda off see that one on the satellite and I have a old picture of it.

@carebear2272 11 месяцев назад

You can see it just to the left of devils cannon on hill side in the tall trees from the map. Use to be able to drive up there close on the roads, been all the old logging roads everywhere in the Snoqualmie area, north, middle south fork snoqualmie river, the pass, mt si, everywhere, they left a old slider tower and a Chevy water or gas truck up near the water shed and a dragline excavator at hard scrabble and a dynamite lock box up there, love those old places, rock crusher and steam donkey engine on bare mt, with other equipment, the cabin up there long gone, and there is suppose to be a cabin up on the basin to the right up high by bare lake.

I logged for Weyerhaeuser back in the 70s up there! I found old cabins that had been burned down near the middle fork. All that was left was tin from the roof and old chimney pipe that was rusted out!

@carebear2272 3 месяца назад

@donaldhofman5257 Way cool! Yes been up there a lot to, use to be one made out of a cedar old growth close to the road, were the road split from Taylor river to the middle fork further up, somebody use to store the moeped bike in it covered in camo tarp lol, I lived in the snoqualmie valle all my life 3rd gen, driven up all the logging roads, even when you could back all the way to the end to snoqualmie lake to Dutch millet gap.

I bet them guys were tough as hell walking up and down that hill with orr

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington Год назад

Yes, they were.

People don't respect anything. It's all about self and money for them.

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington 3 месяца назад

That is exactly why we don't disclose the sites we visit.

@harleyhawk7959 9 месяцев назад

did you go all the to end of that drift? was there any indication they were following a vein? didn't see anything that resembled one. you think the wheel barrow packed all that rock out?

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington 9 месяцев назад

We did explore the entirety, nothing too impressive as far as a vein. Most likely, there were ore cars used.

@outdoorloser4340 9 месяцев назад

You can see oxidized pyrites and the slickenside of a shearzone towards the beginning of the entrance. Most likely an exploratory drift along a surface showing that didn't pan out for the old timers.

@grahamhammond 10 месяцев назад

What is the hallway of the mine looks sideways? Did the ground shift or did they just make it that way?

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington 10 месяцев назад

That is just how the tunnel was driven.

@user-xh3ol9ls3t 3 месяца назад

How long would it take to dig that mine

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington 3 месяца назад

Good question and really hard to say for sure. Depends on a lot of variables we don't know. The hardness and type of rock, mining methods used, rate of daily advancement.

@jarvislarson6864 Год назад

What was it too much trouble to show the inside of the cabin?

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington Год назад

We did not know if the property was under a mining claim, etc. Even though it's public land, we respect a potential claim holders personal property on the site by not sharing that.

@evan8957 10 месяцев назад

Do you have the coordinates of the mine I cannot find them anywhere and I would like to visit it😁

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington 10 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, we can not share them.

@mikehenry4743 2 месяца назад

Why does your buddy Drew carve his initials and NWUE at the places he visits. I have seen in other mines where he has carved his name next to historic miners graffiti, that is being destructive and actually no different than taking artifacts. Kind of irresponsible to leave his "calling cards" every where. It is also interesting to note that the NWUE, RU-vid video of the same mine shows a couple more artifacts in the wheelbarrow than when you visited a short time after they did. Like you say, "There are those who will make this stuff disappear".

@ghosttownsandminesofwashington 2 месяца назад

The best explanation I can give you is that it's been a NWUE tradition for many, many years. Some of what you have seen was probably done years ago by other NWUE explorers. All of the ones I have noticed are drawn in the soft mud material that's built up on the walls.They are not carved into the rock.

@daryljacobson7462 2 месяца назад

Kind of a petty complaint. I don't see you bitching about all the beer cans, candy wrappers and other junk laying around historic sites. Instead you cry about business cards and mud graffiti. Many of those mines are visited by people before and after Drew. As for artifacts being removed or as you seem to imply: stolen. Unless you have proof Drew or anyone associated with Ghost Towns of Washington or Northwest Underground Explorations took them, quit blaming them. Did it occur to you maybe the item was just moved to a safer location in the mine. Drew is a member of both organizations and he brings the thrill of discovery and exploration to thousands of people who otherwise couldn't get out to find and explore our mining history. So, if it bothers you that much, either suck it up or go find something serious to bitch about.

Those videos, provide thousands of people around the world who for one reason or another can’t explore our historic mines the opportunity to see inside the mines and ghost towns of the northwest. It’s evident by the massive number of positive replies that most people appreciate them.
