Mission in life, to find a great woman that enjoys the same things in life as you do and live happily ever after... Looks like you have completed the mission! May you both have many decades of happy exploring together... and post them on You Tube!

Absolutely

Agreed. If I meant a girl like her I would marry her in a heartbeat. More Sharon!

You show the best content with new stuff every video. This is why I keep watching.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@rogerbird6151]

Being there in such a tight space floating in a kayak on dark freezing water would be my worst nightmare! Well done Sharon!

[@WacKEDmaN]

awesome mine..looks like alot of fun..much nicer than halfway down a dusty collapsed shaft any day! thanks Frank and Sharon..bring on the next adventure! btw.. nice job on the voice over Sharon!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

You bet

[@rdamp2374]

Sharon is a GREAT TROOPER and the sounds the kayaks made being pulled up was like ore going down the shoot. Frank you learned the hard way in the water in the inner tube the first time know using the kayaks.

[@hughaskew6550]

Sharon is really turning into a first-class explorer. Great job to both of you.

[@-Viceroy-]

Must be cool floating over the rails and all when the water is crystal clear. I like the end 👍 Adds up to the story when there is a little bit more than just the main part of exploring the mine.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rickb5946]

Totally awesome that you two are a couple and exploring mines as a team !!!!!

[@beedumpling3820]

Ya know, I admittedly watch other mine exploration channels, but damned if this isn't my favorite. Frank, you are just the most extra dude out there and even though I feel like covering my eyes in those tight spots you crawl through, I can't look away!!! Thanks for taking my chicken butt into these places I'd never go on my own! Stay safe out there! Both of you! lol :D

[@alurquhart701]

Frank and Sharon, that was one of your most amazing videos! Exciting to watch from start to finish. One more thing, Frank, you better get your wingman some new boots! Thanks for taking us along!

Great video Frank, I have been waiting for your return to this one, and now you have Sharon to explore with, even better. Stay safe you two, and I look forward to your next adventure, cheers guys.

[@barbararobinson7980]

Awesome aerial view of the beautiful forest, and fantastic shots of Sharon making her descent, really cool. Great that you returned here with the kayaks. Brilliant filming. The sound of the water was so calming. Sharon it was so nice to hear your take on the adventure, thank you. Amazing adventure, thank you Frank and Sharon. Take care and stay safe. 👍❤️

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@anycaliber9086]

What would be awesome is a camera on the bottom of the Kayak so you could see whats under the water awesome video though.

[@imchris5000]

better yet get plexiglass or lexan and cut the bottom out the kayak have a see through bottom. jig saw some rivets and rtv ezpz

[@andrewbarker9773]

man Frank I remember that inner tube video so well, I have never seen you shake like that again or hear you breath like you did in that video either, how you managed to climb out is evidence enough of how hard that would be to do for someone without your experience to do it. I remember you talking about doing this in kayaks in one of your live chat streams and thought shit, can't wait for that to happen, yay it's here

[@dariogeiger7835]

Franks voice is like talking to an old friend so inviting and reassuring even when he’s talking about how dangerous the mine is

[@jimren5638]

I've been hoping you'd go back there with a raft or something! SWEET! The least that Sharon deserves for following you into these places is a nice flash light. Hip waders might be a good thing to add to your arsenal of equipment to explore flooded mines. I wonder what an underwater drone would find under that water. This is really different from the last episode when you were in all that dust from the collapsing debris in that other mine. It pays to be little, Sharon could sneak into skinny places. Really pretty in there, the water is so clear! I like that Sharon had some microphone time at the end there. Nice. Thanks for another great adventure.

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

Excellent drone footage. This video is so cool, seeing it from this prospective. Don't tip over. Might have to check this out in the future, too see if the water drops lower, to a retake on this mine. That is getting rough on the kayak, hauling them over rocks. Sharon, you're one helleva climber.

[@johnnyanders5371]

Man that glacial water is so beautiful, but yet so cold. The water level was up way higher this time. Maybe you guys ought to go in later in the summer. Looks like a great swimming hole, just a tad cold for me though. Take care u two and have a wonderful week.

Wow. She is a rocket. I am glad you are not in the water this time. I was worried the last time before you went there. It would be nice to see if the water was lower. Thanks for posting.

It is lower now, we just went back in!

[@williamsburgkavanagh1710]

What a wonderful pair of people

[@macfilms9904]

A couple of ideas - first, think about using hand paddles (like a large ping pong paddle with a strap that goes around your hand) instead of a standard one - much easier to use in a confined space - 2nd would be purchasing used drysuits (used because mine exploration is rough on gear and you don't want to destroy brand new expensive ones) on ebay for use in cold wet mines. Great content Frank!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

We have some dry suits but they are bulky so it is usually just easier to wade in.

[@EdwinCristobal]

Absolutely stunning cave!

[@gunnyusmc4957]

Ya I'd say the water is higher from the last time even if you are in a kayak

[@Crewsy]

Great to see you back in this mine and sort of staying dry but don’t forget what happened to that soccer team in Thailand when the water level rose up after they went in. Stay safe.

[@DFDuck55]

I might try going in there with my dry suit. I never had the air pump for it, but it's still way warmer than a wet suit. I used to white water raft with it, without a raft. I would just blow it up a bit with my breath and float down the driver. I used the dry suit a lot for dredging, I could get in the cold water earlier in the season than the other guys, and stay in later in the season. It's so buoyant I would have to wear 50 pounds of lead around my chest to help keep me down when dredging.

[@zerofox7347]

Nice to see ya in a kayak instead of an intertube!! Wish the water was a little lower so yall could go farther back but oh well maybe later in the summer in will be down. Its got to be draining out somewhere even if its slow. Yall stay safe out there

This made a nice change to the channel with the kayaks. As another pointed out, a GoPro underneath the boat would be cool to see below surface. Keep safe though as always

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I have destroyed many cameras that were supposed to be waterproof by getting them wet!

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Frank & Sharon, I think the best way forward to get through the lower parts is go in the height of Summer and use a body board or surf board and lie down on it , you could even use a smaller paddle. What happened to your knot mantra Frank ?? "If you don't know knots tie lots" 😜. A very cool 2nd explore into this mine, omg I remember when you went in this mine the 1st time Frank, I felt sure you were going to have Hypothermia but nope you just stood on the top of the cliff with a beer if I remember correctly lol. Love n hugs to you both, Frank you need to get Sharon some waders & boots btw 😉😊. xx🤘🏼💖

It happens in areas of high rainfall.

[@Bushguyrocks]

My kayak is almost identical to yours. If you go in there again this summer, give me a shout. Would love to do that.

[@agentx7138]

Love your exploring these mines. I was rather concerned of water level rising hopefully you checked for recent rainstorms even several days ago that could potentially cause unexpected level changes. A little added flotation might be wise your carrying extra weight with all that climbing gear and the depth of water likely to be a serious hazard to life. Maybe concider some type of paddle bourd so laying down flat is an option and using a single short padle may be easier than your double ended canoe paddles.
