 Good morning, Julie. How are you? Yeah, it's winter We haven't been out for a month or so since the weather was a little better. It's windy cold But it's not raining today and it has been raining somewhat where we've been So anyway, we're back on the field We're gonna hike up the hill and look at this little prospect right up here. I don't see the waste ball It's really windy and cold. So let's go hike up the hill. Maybe that'll warm us up Well, we've come to an area that has quite a few cans So apparently with an old camp of some sort Look how this one's opened. So there was apparently a camp, like I said This looks pretty old. Some of those cans look like they're soldered. They're coming up from this way Let's keep following the cans up this washer There's a milk can you can always tell them always tell the Carnation cans or whatever they are and look at it's just opened a little bit so they can just drip the milk out as needed A lot of cans and a lot of them are open like that That's a style that we haven't seen very often opened like that in here. There are a Lot of them that are open like that Yeah Interesting. There's a plate over there See if it says anything on the bottom of it. It'll be in the middle part there That or the other one? No, it's not enough there to read Here's the bulk of the cans right here So apparently the camp was nearby right here That's a pretty good place to end up for this area. Whoops There's a piece of stove pipe out there Right there. So there was probably a cabin here too or at least a wall tent that had a Wood stove in it. What's this flat one over here? That's just a flat one. I can't know that's part of the Part of a stove This can tops is hunt in the big letters for the in the little letters in hunt for the best Whatever that means You think of hunts ketchup, but I've never heard him say hunt for the best This looks like it was a pad for the living quarters I don't see the remains of a cabin. So I'm guessing was a tent or a couple tents And we're gonna hike up the hill Here's some mounts for some equipment. Maybe a Compressor and or generator or both Well, we came up to some switchbacks here. Well, there's one of the two waste truck piles Wow, look at the open country out there. I'm standing on top of the waste truck pile It's not huge, but it's respectable Enough to be a few hundred feet of workings. Anyway, I would guess Who's on the other side? Very windy still There was something up here with some pipes and Maybe a little cabin for equipment And it looks like the portals over this way and it looks to be open. So let's go inside and see what we have Okay, let's go see what we have in this old mine right away, there's some chicken wire and a bunch of Lumber I wonder if they had a wonder if they had an enclosure to store food or if it was a door enclosure To keep rabbits and stuff out Very solid rock no timbering And quite warm I don't know if Julie has her thermometer today or not, but what's it say? Okay, it says 63 right now Let's see if it changes. We just came in. It was inside of her pack So that was that was her inside pack temperature. Looks like we're coming through an intersection That looks like he was Had one of the big washers on here didn't it? That's part of like a shaft timbering I've already got reused unless there's a shaft in there somewhere So it goes left and it goes Right Let's take the right right hand rule. Oh boy. It's warm enough a lot of this green rock in this particular general area I heard one guy call it desert Jade. I don't know what the geological term is for proper term Oh, yeah, they had track in here I can see the time marks like they had a water line in there or something as a big Well that looks like that's the end of that Here's the face of it And once again, it's a green material This looks like guano down here Which means there are bats up here and Yes, there they are Sleeping soundly So we'll leave them alone. So we're up to 70. What was it before 63? Okay And it's about Low 50s outside today Okay, let's go look at the other side There's a camera Looks like it was the grease swab. Maybe a rag is in there Not seeing a lot for a mineral vein. All right. This is back to the original intersection that we took a right at Now we're gonna go the other way which will be a left. Oh, I see a muxet already You know what that means? More guano. Oh, here's a little mineral vein So here is the mineral vein that looks like it was the most recent thing to be worked definitely some iron Some sulfur or sulfides of some type Not a geologist and Don't pretend to be one. Do enjoy looking at the minerals though. There's some big drill holes, aren't they? Now her thermometer reads 74 so it's gone up 10 degrees since we've been in here And it feels It feels warm in here Here's a little mux sheet Got a few last marks in it That's a heavy one that's a big piece of boilerplate probably 316s. Oh look it They can't you get around the same Oh Looks like it says half court all-american Something here extra dry extra dry beer cool. Oh There's a guy golfing on So so all-american so there's some sports themes here. Oh, yeah, that's baseball looks like So there's a guy fishing Point out what they're doing this guy's fishing. I can't tell what this guy's doing Well bowling or something that's a bowling stance. Oh, maybe and then shooting and shooting Chop shooting or something Golfing. There's the golfer. I don't know what this guy running What's he doing baseball maybe I don't know what that is Hmm interesting look at the color. Isn't that pretty? I'm gonna stay back there. All right, let's head back to the outside where it's a little cooler and We'll try to find something else to do Kind of an interesting little mine Really cool can I guess the mux sheet hasn't been moved for a while 77 Gone up 13 degrees This is up above the one we were just in It doesn't go very far Probably only goes in about 20 30 feet Julie's standing down on the lower pile What a beautiful area to look at all that nothing out there Haven't seen a person all day Well, it's really windy. We're off on foot again We're heading for mine. I don't know if we're gonna get there today or not It's getting later in the day when the flowers are pretty aren't they look at that? It's getting later in the day We got like a mile or more to hike so I don't know we might just see how this road looks and If we don't get there we don't get there the road's a little chewed up On this one lately really cool road wall right there though We'll be walking along that very shortly That's looking back at the road while we just we're coming up now we've turned on to a slightly smaller road and And Climbing up to this little ridge top and maybe at the top of that we'll see something Here I am on top of the waystruck pile It's significant Across the way is a tent pad with a bold bed springs to let And down there is dynamite storage it looks like there was probably some sort of a An orb in right there probably And Some of this might be vein material That that didn't get hauled away Who says there's a portal here? Let's go look at that for the gourd Kind of gourd. Ah, yes, there's a portal. Well, this is a big open shaft probably about 10 by 8 by 10 something like that Let's go over here and look at this. It's too late in the day for us to start roping down something like that So let's go in here and see what we have Well, you feel the air breezing through here. I see some timbering. It's kind of a strange affair, isn't it? Well, this is a tunnel. I See you light at the other end of it Looks like there was track in this little bit. Why would they put track in this little thing? Maybe it was just a haul through From another working over this way A little haulage at it instead of going over the top of the mountain I just come to a shaft Can't get out that way. Can we? Yeah Who is a better crawler than I am? That doesn't look like fun at all Okay, hold on tight squeeze. Where are you taking me? Other side To the dark side. Yeah I'll show you it goes down and then through again So let's go through and check it out Kind of a strange deal, isn't it? There was a tunnel and it went into another Drift or at it or the other. Oh, I'm in here. Looks like this was the fissure Where the smooth wall is The smooth foot wall. I don't think too many people come up to this line Not even the assessors have been here There's an old muck sheet Yeah, that's pretty heavy Well, that's it This big vein right here. That's probably about the angle of that shaft over there Which is pretty pretty steep Looks like a water heater So we're heading out of here Looks like there was some kind of a circular mill half way up the hill there Probably an Orban. We're all the six by six Big waste pile Big big vertical shaft Which we weren't able to get down today, but maybe we'll come back another day and check it out Otherwise, it's a pretty cool sight. There's a lot of stuff laying around Thanks for watching the video. We hope you enjoyed it and we'll see you on our next adventure
