Remote Miners Junkyard Interesting Artifacts, Hike To Mine With Great Views Very Sketchy Bridge Walk
Channel: Abandoned Mine Exploring with Tom and Julie
Date: 01/07/2022

After a Jeep ride through the desert we hike up a rugged canyon towards a mine. We found a remote miners junkyard in the hills. We poke around the cans and bottles and find some interesting items. Nearby we spotted a waste rock pile and went to check if out. There were two obvious portals, one upper and one lower. We entered the lower drift and found it was being used by burros for a watering hole. The farther we went into the drift the wetter it got. We came back out and climbed up to the upper portal and found a cool drift that required crossing a very sketchy bridge. We realized when a rock fell and hit water that the mine was stoped all the way down to the wet lower haulage that we had just been in. We hiked around the area trying to get to a bigger mine that is near there, but it was all private land which we respected.
