 We're going uphill very very steep probably hard for you to see but it's pretty steep low range in first gear Struggling for traction Hey YouTube mind exploring fans Tom and Julie here again We're on the Jeep on some steep roads Mine and it's all around us You might have to bail on this one right here though. It looks like it gets pretty steep Definitely don't want to go down something we can't get back up. I didn't see the road do you? So we're off on foot following a burrow trail and kind of a cool Canyon here. There's an old apple juice bottle Cold filtered it says Isn't that apple? Yeah, it's a shape of an apple There's some neat dugouts in the wall up there We're still making our way down this wash. It's really cool. It's a nice day. Not too hot Shady cloudy, I mean So pretty pleasant All kinds of mines up in this canyon We've already seen about eight of them Well, we are out of the wash I'm heading up an old mining road or trail one of the other Looks like it might even widen up to be a road pretty steep Good news is we don't have a real long ways to go on it Who geography out here? There's the waste rock pile up there All right, we just about to the bottom of the way track bow Which is right there Trying to know notice some very colorful rocks down here There's some I don't know exactly what it is if it's quartz Maybe some pink quartz or not Here's a look from on top of the waste rock bow It's pretty big actually and It's not gated there a couple unsafe stay out and sign but Nothing private or forbidding you to go in here All right, we're in I got a smile out of Julie. I have certain tricks I got to use to make her happy once in a while because she was hot coming up the waste rock pile So it looks like there was some track in here. I see this ties are still here It's a nice tall at it About seven feet. I believe it's a gold mine. This is a gold country There's a lot of that pink I'm not sure if it's limestone out on the Pile on the way up. I see the rats like it in here It's like go straight ahead. It's like some little back filled areas already. I see some timbers Here's a change in geology right here Whatever that means No, it's pretty soft right here very dead sound. You see some timbering up ahead Marks where the tracks were There's some timbers Like something else going on here, too, doesn't it? Look at the old woodbarrow I know we just talk about we never see bells in here's here's all the staves for another one Wow, that's cool Yeah, careful. No So this keeps We were just talking about you never seen you see it barrel hoops everywhere and you never see any old staves around boy That looks like more excitement than we're ready for The ladder quits so we can't exactly take the ladder down Turn it see the ladder is missing a section at the bottom. We don't have our ropes with this today We didn't even know this was here at all. So we're kind of just flying blind today So they were using this barrel as some sort of a water device This tube would have had down somewhere Interesting though, huh? This looks like there was a Hoist here somewhere because there's the support for like a windlass or some other powered hoist simple hoist Well We can't get down there Okay, over this way Julie spotted something kind of interesting What do you think about that ladder? I think we can do it. Yeah, it's probably about 30 feet 25 30 40 feet Here's a little plaque on the wall FW Braun Los Angeles And there's the ladders up there again. Wow crazy, huh? Well, let's follow the end of this Add it just to make sure there's nothing else exciting down here That looks like a handle or maybe it's just a whole doweled trim to fit in that hole for wedging There's a short cross cut left about 25 feet Straight ahead about much Yep back to the salad zone This hasn't been surveyed for a while the the pink tape is turned to dust That's the face Looks like the ladder is pretty secure on there. Let's go. Okay. Wish me luck. Good luck ladder. Good luck to you like a little torquey at the bottom now because It's cantilevered over the This beam right here. It's at least straight up. It's not a little more It's very sturdy So far in there six ladders now Okay This one feels sturdy boy a lot of air going through up there I know I feel a lot of air Looks scary You're pretty vertical. It's very vertical. It's more than vertical it feels like Haven't felt any loose rungs though. Good. Watch your pack I'm just gonna see how I'm stepping on her Okay Here she comes It's scary, huh? Yeah It's steep. My arms are so hard Very steep Little more turn it turn to one side turn this other way other way Yep Now move to the other side a little bit There you go. Okay. We just came up the ladder There's a little bit of a Headworks here Here's some Things from 1941. I can't really read it work done. I can't read the Oh Oh five up that way Let's go that way There was track up here too, but they took it out There's a portal to the outside What do you think about that? Yeah, there's still some track in here some coke cans People have been coming in that way it looks like There's a face about 25 feet ahead of me People have been drinking their Mountain Dew bottles How long has it been since Mountain Dew was in a bottle like that? Or do they still make that? That kind of short bottle Okay, let's go back to the ladders that we came up and See what's past them the other way There's a big pipe in here I don't know if this is backfielder Let me like their Coca-Cola around here You look like they're from the 80s Okay, here we are back to this ladder area Well, the wind just died in it We got warmer Not terribly though This doesn't look like it goes terribly far Too bad the ladders are missing in that down section Yeah, that's it Well, sometime we'll have to bring some rope back and go down those another section Here's the face I don't think mine is warm in the backpacks No, they did Okay, be careful coming down though I mean, it looks so easy Careful, no Because there's no more rungs They ran out of rungs See anything I wonder if I can see it out of here Well, I really wish that old barrel was still together I was going to put it together, but I gave up there's so much rat crap on it that There's the bung right there Look at that And the bung hole I believe that's what they call it That seals up the barrel after they fill it with Whatever they're filling it with and Either the top or the bottom is there Just think of the old Cooper Making all these parts fit They used to use their Smoke shave or whatever kind of tool it was they used to shave these Edges to make them fit perfectly I'm sure it's mostly machine done, but Back in the old days the coopers made them All right, let's get out of here. It was a somewhat interesting explorer. I thought We don't build the mines. We just explore them. So I have no control over what's there, obviously I like to see that barrel though. We don't see many barrels. I see a lot of hoops But I don't see many of the staves I think that's what they're called staves aren't they? Well from Julia myself. We thank you for watching the video and we hope you enjoyed it and we'll see you next time
