Exploring Nevada's Abandoned Mines: Goldfield, Beatty, and Goodsprings

Spent a day exploring the many abandoned mines around the Nevada towns of Goldfield, Beatty, and Goodsprings. Most of the mines had no names, but one was called the Mayflower Mine located near Beatty.

Did you stop at Bailey's Hot Springs?

@mobiltec

No. Never heard of it. Is it near Beatty, NV?

[mobiltec]

@fhood Just outside of Beaty past the Angels Girls Brothel about a mile or two. Great RV or Tent Campground with really nice hot springs. You get your own personal building and you can pick the temperature range you like.

@mobiltec Sounds good! Will make a mental note of it for the next time I'm out that way. Did you make it to Tecopa over the Fourth of July like you had mentioned?

That red clay reminds me of the clay I mined up today at "the Mine Shaft".

I found the music quite disturbing!

The mine at 6:06 i was there yesterday, me and my family went to of them out there. You know when you first go into the big room thing and you can either go the way you were in or the drop down looking path, we went down there too and after going pretty far down we stopped but there was a turn and if you go there are certain spots with tons of silver everywhere! you will see a mattress bed spring haha it was so amazing!

@fhood No. Stayed home on the 4th.
