 look at that dust needle. this is a pretty view. it's a pretty little canyon in there. you don't want to go down the canyon in the jeep. no. it'd be fun to hike though. well this is an interesting little stretch. little narrows. yeah. this looks like a combination open cut and underground hard rock. there's an arch. that hole doesn't go anywhere. this hole goes to a chute but it's cave beyond that. looks like copper zone too, doesn't it? oh the blue on the ground. green. the ground is just blue in this area. the copper minerals are outrageous. look at that. we're heading up here. there's mines all over the place. it's really windy. that is one black where you went? I don't know. we found another portal. so Tom's gonna dig out a little bit so we can crawl underneath there. I've already been digging for ten minutes. you've already been digging. probably getting tired. that's it. okay. if it squashes me, it squashes me. let me just go in without my pack for just a second. okay. do you have your flashlight? yeah. okay. keep it low so you can hit that board. I wanted to show you these boards that are bowing. as you walk in here, as you crawl in here, it's a lot of pressure. all right here comes Julie. Julie the mine explorer. she's worried about that board and I don't blame her. I think you're past it now. yeah pretty much. see him like that. it's a little unsettling. yeah he's angry. here's a nice gobbling wall. this is an older part of the mine. look at how old that chute looks. nice stacked rocks though. that's a little busted up. I don't know what though. this must be a chute gate, huh? this thing. this is. yeah. slowly. so what's that graffiti you see there? look at this green wall. this whole thing is under a fairly tremendous amount of pressure. you can see some snapped stalls and braces. so does that is that a person's face? I know it's a nice chin. yeah I know it's cool isn't it? beautiful mineral veins around here. these got to be copper mines. just don't bang on any of the timbers. that's kind of a mess right ahead of you there isn't it? there's some cool graffiti ahead of you I see. oh boy some nice air coming through there. May 2017. is this a guy in his donkey or his mule? gotta be a burrow out here. burrow. May 2017. wow that's a long time ago. 105 years ago right? imagine that a hundred and five years ago some old miner bucking around in here. 105 years ago. so this is kind of an angled stope it looks like. yeah we're probably not gonna go real far because it looks pretty busted up ahead of us. but we can go a little bit further. look at all this stuff is just crashed. I don't hear any creaking right now. okay. won't you come back then if you're done looking around. get to somewhere that's more stable. wow look at the blue. holy buckets. WN 1917. well this one's not even doing anything. that's not gonna hurt anything. unbelievable vein here. look at the stalls. few busted ones but not terrible. I think I'm gonna go a little further can we? we don't push them in luck too hard. I don't bump anything. look at the huge pillar of blue. so there was track in here but this is gonna be all we're gonna get out of this one. you can see the time marks. but this finally gave way to the cave in. unbelievable vein though I can't believe it. all right one last look at this beautiful wall of blue. and I'm gonna exit out of here before I push my luck too far. it is a little crashed up. oh wait a second what's this? I didn't see this. wow that goes up a long ways. they worked that whole area down here. huh it's one big long shoot coming down to here. look at the blue.
