 here we are back to the grizzly working our way back towards the main windshaft I guess it would be with the big skip rails and the ladders the manways that we became down that should be just ahead of us here back to the little barrel the main shaft that's not even a full piece of wood broken so don't put all your weight on there okay we're gonna go down another level find another level okay I don't know if you can see down there's a little sliver of light and that's Tom down about four or five more ladders and there is another level here there's one bad landing there that you gotta watch out for if you're coming down do you want to come down the ladder one landing is broken but if you go down and look at it you'll see you you want to stay on the ladder that's kind of propped up on the right side of the main ladder there's a double ladder if you take the right one you can come down the alternative is you can have me look around on here right now I'm looking at a few wooden dynamite boxes and I don't know what else because I haven't looked around ten four might be out of radio range though Roger all right let's see what we have here there's some batteries still in their boxes that are I'm not sure how old but pretty old there's another C-Rectin lucky strike is it there's a velvet it's pretty cool and they're in a Atlas box Atlas Atlas okay let's take a little walk down the down the lane here Julie staying up top there's one pretty crappy ladder there that she didn't want to navigate around there's a square fuel can or something there's a little piece of ladder old Copenhagen tin another shovel I guess when you got to go you got to go and that's about the end of it this is backfilled a little bit a few loads for the other way there's a can more dynamite box pretty rotten we're gonna hold that lucky strike tobacco can is I I see a lot of Prince Albert's and a few developments but not I don't think I've seen a lucky strike can there's some milk cartons little bag some of these lunch stuff in there napkin and such I'm back to the shaft I'm gonna cross the shaft and go to the left now the right didn't go real far shovel that's a can too this is Sir Walter Raleigh can you got them all covered here I gotta take another picture big dust of air just came up that shelf hope this is solid there's a bridge there's track on it so I think the track will hold me there's some grabbing here are some load counts looking back at the main shaft wow big blast of air coming from somewhere behind me you might be able to hear it on the camera when noise looks a little dicey up here might be the end of the road for this old boy that's where the air is coming from yeah that's gonna do it for me there probably isn't too much over there if there is it's gonna be unknown to me because that is what I'm looking at so I mean if you want it to you probably could get over there but and that's looking down the added so this is a ladder going up this is another ladder going down just a little short guy but that's gonna do it well this shaft continues down about another hundred feet vertical and then it turns to something less than vertical very hard to tell from here probably still steep like a 70 degree angle I don't see any levels right here plus the ladders are all covered up here I'd have to move all this stuff there are ladders down there but I have to move all these timbers to get in there and look a little beat up so I'm gonna head back up I've got to go up with that away far as you can see this is a bad landing here look at that don't want to use that one okay here he comes I'm exploring deep in the mind that was a pretty cool level yeah yeah I didn't really need to open you go to the up the ladder yeah ladders are straight when they come to a level because otherwise the base of it would be in the way of the track a lot of ladders to go up a couple hundred feet anyway at least oh there he is probably 300 feet of ladders all right here comes Julie the Explorer back from the depths of the mine she's smart she's got her mask on I hope there wasn't a lot of haunted virus down there because there was a lot of mouse poop versus the traditional rat poop and you see in a mine much smaller mouse poop and several dead mice I don't know how mice and rats live in these places there's no water bone dry and there's really no food and I can think of I mean they can't go outside the mine every day to get food and water so he's mystified me how they can live in here in total darkness with no food or water obviously they get something from somewhere okay we're heading back out I think okay we came from that way and I'll kick the switch left so you go that way all right now let's take the left Julie switched us yeah I'm not sure what that means this is one of me skipped on the way in on plastic debris on the ground from pipe that's shattered the big bolt up in the ceiling or the back of the mine I should say the tracks to a little screwy curving here another big area of some gobbling double shoots natural lagging up ahead up overhead should we all this plastic is why it's so broken that's awkward across hopefully somebody didn't die right there but if they did rest in peace my friend tracks take some odd little short curves here don't they I think this is a little more modern part of the mine smell like creosote it's kind of a room can't I see over there I can't mean over far enough to there's a cardboard explosives here is a hoist room nothing left of the hoist though they like to ladders around here don't they well I'm not going down there today because I'm laddered out there's other ones kicked my butt it would have been a hoist sitting here though and facing this way the rope would have run up that way and it would have been a big pulley up top back down the shaft this was a big trap door for the shaft it's all flipped over now that's not terribly far in it must be a sub level because we went down through the than that down the other ladders see here's your creosote smell I think those are old railroad ties stacked up there that's a sub level because the first level that we hit down below this was not as it was further than that shaft went here was a door possibly for wind it is there's still a breeze in here right now but it's not my doors all falling apart here's some shoots now see these are old railroad ties see where the track plate would have been you can smell them sir ladder going up it had done go anywhere yeah I believe there are 25,000 feet of drifts in here because we've already covered a couple few anyway probably probably at least a mile or more let's do this stay on the tracks see again fresh one freshly dried rat told you there's nothing to drink in here how do you expect to survive there's another big dry cell it's about the fifth one of these we've seen multiple battery yeah there's some load counts what's up here here's a big stope probably about 25 feet high and probably 50 feet long Julie's about 25 feet away goes about 25 feet faster anything over there what do you want to do it looks kind of rough up there there's a bag of anfo or something else NC NCM some sort of explosives another big shoot and another hoistroom it's a crazy mine I don't know it's not a hoistroom is it it's just a skip track I can't see from this angle well that's definitely a sub level down below us because that's only about 40 feet down and we were about a hundred feet down the level lower level we went to and then the second level I went was even further than that there's another battery looks like the end of it right here pretty rubbly around here there's an old set of ladders that one you want to rope for there's half a carbide can not be any purpose for something else so now this is this is caved in here but it does keep going on the crazy mine another set of ladders are going up there holy buckets come to Julie through the clutter he's pretty tough little mind Explorer let's see if we can find the end of this thing we couldn't find the bottom on mine maybe you find the ends of it let's get dusty back here we always try to walk kind of gingerly when you're in dusty mines because you can make a big difference the way you walk if you stomp down versus a stealthy walk this is one of the bigger mines we've been in though five miles of workings on at least three levels probably four because I believe there's a sub level here's a work table or something a little crosscut or a siding maybe I see a ladder up there cardboard explosives thousand feet of ladders in there at least this might be for hauling equipment up when you see those v-shaped wood shoots I don't think they're for war I think they're more for dragging a drill and whatever else up heavy equipment that you can't carry have to hoist it up still going here here was a crosscut see a collapse up here must be a big stope well it wasn't a stope it is now now that this is all collapsed let me just take a quick peek at her what do you think yeah keep going let's see if we can find the end the done come pretty quick I'm gonna give out it looks like this has been somewhat backfilled for some reason that the floor is so bumpy another huge shoot this this must have been backfilled because this there's no way you would had all this on the floor the tracks go to a dead end there have we found the end now the tracks are still going underneath me I don't know it's all cleared out again that's weird keeps going you back there swab can here's a I don't know what there's a band cap or something don't tell me it isn't so it probably wasn't the end but it's as far it's as far as we're going once again now there's a spot in here where water has come in some of these places and actually that now that doesn't look like the face but that's as far as we're going because it's collapsed here's the noble cross cut we'll see what it does for a minute we'll press on soldier on as they say this thing wonder if that's the good stuff some more explosives boxes cardboard ones all the cool ones are down below that looks like the face of that right there oh boy what it's some hard rock on the floor isn't it get lost in a cross cut there's some paper in the upper edge yeah we go down just that little bit like that maybe it turns or something you want to cross number it just it's just a cut that they follow down and they went up to I really shouldn't look straight up on standing over a shaft you know it doesn't look straight up you get kind of dizzy disoriented your equilibrium is off yeah we found the end of the noble cross cut all right that's it because everything else on the way out we have seen some of these guys do this modern stuff I think with a lighter or some kind of something all right we're heading back out we're back to this spot we're on our way out what a place that's looking back down the way we've come from a lot of dangerous places here this wardrobe there is a level right down below us that if you ever want to come back you got something else to explore we hate to kill a mine like this all at once savor it come back a couple times well that's gonna conclude our exploration of this mine we didn't see it all there's over five miles of workings here and we were down we saw three levels well we hope you guys enjoyed the video we sure enjoyed the explore and Julian I always appreciate you guys watching so until next time we'll see you later the tracks from across this portal area some head over towards that being over there it's going the top of that big waist bell big mine quite the elaborate orbit in here the grizzly up on top it goes into a hopper and continues down from there so I'm down here below this big bin and that would have been where the original ore dropped through that grizzly and down here is a huge hole I don't know where this goes very large timbers here hey little buddy
