Man, that catwalk...WOW !!!! Once I was walking and I heard a single rattle. I looked down at a big old Pacific Rattlesnake between my legs!!! I jumped away quickly. I got so lucky that day. I used to get so many rattlesnakes at my old place out by Shandon, CA. Great Video!

Quite common to leave the core samples . They were probably hoping to sell the mine. A future geologist can study them.

Great Video Looking at your hike, it's hard for me to imagine that a decent road went up there. Was it along a different route? What happened to it?
@WesternMineDetective6 күн бұрын
It was actually down that exact canyon I went down! It’s almost impossible to believe there was a road going down it but up until the early 90s I believe there were off-road rigs getting winched up the falls and it was decently drivable up until the early 1980s then there was a flood in ‘83 I believe. It’s now down to the bedrock in many spots but towards the town especially within a mile or two many portions of the road can be seen.

Does this place have lots of rattlesnakes? Most people know how dangerous Rattlesnakes are, but if you need anti venom this could bankrupt you, it cost alot of money to get better after a snake bite.
@WesternMineDetective6 күн бұрын
Yes it does, but when I went it was definitely a bit cold for any snakes to be out. Not unlikely to see them but way less likely than say spring or summer months.

Really enjoy these outings, amazing sites and views 🙂 What type and make camera did you use for recording outdoor? Maybe it is me but there are some strange compression artefacts that mess with the sky and the countryside, could well be on my end but I don’t notice them elsewhere? Cool truck too!

For comparison, here is another of your videos in a similar setting: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpmUpYSGjp6XeLs There are far less compression artefacts than in the video above, even though the resolution seems lower. Could also be a mismatch between the memory media and the cameras capabilities. Your content is recorded in an incredibly beautiful landscape and I‘m pretty sure others would also chip in and help you out if you want to upgrade your camera gear 😊

Good to see some cabins/huts being maintained and cared for and also open as too many are vandalized or just left to be trashed. I have seen too many trashed huts/cabins in my 65 years.
@markthomas243611 күн бұрын
the only reason they ain't trashed as well is that they are in the desert. Middle of NOWHERE. People do not go out there.
