 good morning youtubers Tom and Julie here we're out in the Jeep on the mine explore trail once again doing what we like to do today we are out in the mountains of Southern California let's go see what we can find today this road isn't too bad compared to some of the ones they've been on still good to have a Jeep though or another type of four-wheel-drive vehicle so we're working our way up this wash where there was a huge mine and mill up here and we're encountering some cans there's a pretty nice wire spool or possibly blasting cord fuse you're coming Julie so it looks like there was a building here a lot of corrugated steel that's down building flattened there is a waste truck pile ahead of us there too so let's go over there see what it looks like so this is looking back at the collapsed building behind Julie there this is the waste truck pile I'm standing on top of it it's fairly substantial not the biggest I've ever seen but not bad that's looking back down the wash we just came up digging for gold mines what Tom smells mine smell coming from this area so he's designed to dig it out for a little bit and see if we can find a way in here's a waste rock pile so the portal is right around here somewhere and they're hoping it's in this area over here the waste rock pile to the sky that's a big one this must be part of the mineral vein they're following let's go up this left side see what we find here comes Julie coming up the mountain that's where the word below on that lower waste pile trying to find a portal we never did find it I think it's buried I know it's buried all right Julie you ready let's see what we have in this beast oh it's a little cooler anyway getting hot out there today must be like 75 degrees it doesn't sound real hot there's some air vent round metal it's nice spacious at it looks like we're gonna pick up the track again here winding around a little bit there's a junction it looks like let's take the right follow the tracks these ties don't look that old do they look nails bent over yeah just a little pocket here there's some bracing looks like it would be the vein there after right here too doesn't it the pipe that went pipe drop down in size a little bit it was six inch now it looks like it's put three or four inch there must have sprung a leak here there's some timbering like a barrel or something up here huh or that just a blast shield okay there's the face of it apparently came in from that way so this would be a left that we're going in and drifting around something's Julie put the brakes on it looks like this drift down is not too far that way and then there's another a stope a room right here this is straight up looks like this is the vein they're following let's take a look down this ladder let's see if I can get down this ladder without killing myself it's not really long but far enough where you can get hurt it's one of those that feels like you want to pull off I think your backpack hit the edge wasn't a mind monster okay so I'm at the bottom this ladder only about 20 feet and in front of me there's just a short pocket that they've followed and if you can see that and behind me the drift continues they started up on this vein up here now they've just followed this vein up a little ways I guess it's kind of a level in that there's some steel and a stope a little room here some bracing I'm guessing the steel was to slide all around on to muck it out so I guess this is a level here's some copper in this vein here interesting vein here and right here and this continues over this way and I think they ran out of desirable material that's one of those it feels like he wants to pull off pull the ladder right off so here's a cool little dump truck and look what it says on the side of it I don't have any idea what you're this thing is it's pretty old there's not a lot left of it it's a little dump truck
