chris lets put it this way..... that mine was abandoned in 1907....... the old engine outside the adit.........still turned over freely
i have alot more pics of this mine including some historic photos i'll post up soon. thers also a great video too but its on hi 8
we couldnt get across a winze in the mine, marc set up this whole set up using the srt gear and some old mine rails to get across and i was ready to go, but then we both decided not to as we were in a mine under the grand canyon kinda scary if anything happened.
another part of the mine, the upper level, i rappeled down a shaft and had a look around while marc waited above i saw daylight and followed it, that is when i found the ore car and another way out! alot of the wood in the mine is hand split!!
