4x4 Adventure driving underground! Reward Mine California

In this video I drive the AutoEdits Jeep Wrangler all the way to the deepest part of the Reward Mine located near Lone Pine CA. I'll take you with me for this easy to access adventure and maybe give you some inspiration to check it out for yourself.
Please be cautious entering ANY mine and unlike me in this video... you should wear a hard hat and going alone isn't the smartest plan...lol

Howdy! Thanks for coming along for the drive... let me know what you think!

[@jimcabezola3051]

I see California uses similar rock and soil stabilisation techniques as Hawai'i. The cave entrance reminds me that today, a part of a highway on O'ahu is closed while the DOT works on the rock and soil stabilisation system on the extreme southeast of the island. This must be VERY critical for you folks in California. We've had a couple of very minor earthquakes (more like seaquakes...) this week, so I imagine our authorities are exercising caution just as California does. I really enjoyed "your drive!" Aloha!

@@jimcabezola3051Thanks!

[@veganoverlander]

Awesome. All alone in this mine, I would need some spare underwear. 😂 Thanks for this video. And good luck for your career in Hollywood.

[@brainards11]

That was really neat...I like to watch where you explore...give us more!!!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!

[@chrisgreenwood8110]

I want to go to there. Thanks for the ride.

[@darkenfly32]

I would poop myself if I was in there and there was an earthquake. 😂 Thanks for the awesome videos

[@AutoEdits]

You would only have to worry about the 💩 in your pants for a few moments before being a pancake 🤣

[@keithfetterly4111]

You rock, good sir. Love your videos. Keep adventuring and keep up the awesome work. 👏

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! Will do!

[@stevenvandiesel7408]

Love all of your adventures! Keep em' coming! Been watching for years! You are one of the reasons I modified my jeep in the first place. You sold me on the Metal cloak 3.5 Gamechanger. 😎❤

[@AutoEdits]

That is awesome!

[@jonathanbartelson1013]

I think my fear of small spaces kicked in, Great video.

[@AutoEdits]

You and me both!

[@PhatyMattyMcGee]

[@trailrunnah8886]

This was great, I love the solo adventure videos! Thanks for taking us in there, so I no I don't have to ever go. Just watching this gave me anxiety, I've watched way too many Scary Interesting cave disaster videos to ever set foot in one now, haha.

[@AutoEdits]

I had a few moments as well...lol

[@jrben21]

Great vid! The multi-point turn will forever be known as as the Austin Powers turn

[@AutoEdits]

HA! Dude, here's the scene from the Austin Powers movie kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3jMgoJ5jZ6ImK8

[@jrben21]

Yeah i know 😂 What did we call it before Austin Powers? Makes u wonder..

[@sktona]

Wow this is so cool

[@AutoEdits]

It was kinda fun!

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

Always love your adventures in your awsome jeep.. keep the videos coming..

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks, will do!

[@nu2comments]

Very cool! I have never heard another person say “mother of pearl!” I thought I was the only one. Always happy when a new video pops up from you.

[@AutoEdits]

Rock on!🤘

[@cw50must]

Great video as always. I've seen some videos of this place before but yours was awesome. You had some great camera shots in there.

[@AutoEdits]

Thank you very much!

[@hunterwilliams360]

Sweet video my man!!!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!

[@BiO811HazarD]

Super fun and unique video, even if you had me stressing out! I would be so worried that I wouldn’t be able to get turned around to drive out. Glad you made it out safe!

[@hdj82rican0214]

Wow looks like fun and scary 😮 I will do it but with few other jeepers

[@AutoEdits]

That's the smart way to go 🤣

[@outlawrydr]

Always great to see your adventures go

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!

[@Stuka87]

Finally got a chance to watch this. What a perfect place to explore during this crazy heat wave we are having. I love reading about the mining history that we have here in California.

[@AutoEdits]

I'm really intrigued by the old mining as well!

[@mrwayneoinsano]

That was an awesome video and great to have you back in the Jeep👍

[@AutoEdits]

🤘

[@phantomphan1974]

Some more walk in mines north of there too....whole area is full of them

[@harrisonvanhoozer1152]

I started out with a WJ identical to yours same color and everything. I just finally purchased a JK Rubicon 🤘🏼

[@AutoEdits]

Nice!

[@Jo_Nthejeep]

I’ve always wanted to check this place out but the video made my hands sweat since I’m claustrophobic lol

[@AutoEdits]

😬

[@phantomphan1974]

Done that couple times and so fun. We went like 3 at a time.

[@AutoEdits]

I couldn't be the middle Jeep for sure!

[@Smouse168]

Very creepy lol. Great video man. Thanks for sharing.

[@AutoEdits]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@nastycbr]

That would be a fun trip on the drz400 as well.

[@AutoEdits]

Whoa! Never thought of that but yeah!!!

[@jlr_adventurer]

I really love your videos, really happy when there’s a new video from you 🤙🏻

[@AutoEdits]

Glad you like them!

[@craigkim5995]

That. Was. Awesome! I have to go check that out the next time I'm up there. Thanks for sharing!

[@AutoEdits]

You should!

[@travislarson5192]

I really like your instructional/informative content, but it's great to just break away from the daily grind and do some adventuring. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@AutoEdits]

Thank you!

[@S-R-G]

Totally cool man. Thanks for sharing, thats awesome.

[@AutoEdits]

You bet!!!

[@RandomVelocity]

Oh man, your brave going in there I’d be afraid the thing with Cave in on me or something

[@AutoEdits]

It was creepy at moments but fun overall.

[@Bigbehr11]

Awesome trip J, thanks for taking us along!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks dude!

[@mfranano78]

Love seeing you get out and get that thing dirty!! (but...Officer Lewis is a good looking dude) My fathers day plans got cancelled due to the fire at Hungry Valley, so I am itching to get out.

[@TaTanka362]

What a ride! I need a nap…. Nice work.

[@AutoEdits]

😂🤘

[@derekcooper8962]

Glad you made it out alive!😉

[@AutoEdits]

Me too 🤣

[@peterradsliff527]

Awesome, Jason!

[@AutoEdits]

🤘

[@BernardManansala]

Classic Case of… “Fu?k Around and Find Out”😮

[@AutoEdits]

I found out alright

[@MoBCommunity]

10:22 I see you, Legend.

[@kevinp2820]

👍 Wow, nice place to cool off! Where did you get the blue seat covers? Fun video.

[@AutoEdits]

Those are from PRP ... I did a little feature video on them kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXmyeamcbq2rh68

[@navseal345]

👍👍

[@AutoEdits]

🤘

[@jimf.625]

That looks like fun. Thanks for the ride along. Do you think a Tacoma short bed TRD 4x4 and a Subaru Outback Wilderness can make the trip?

[@AutoEdits]

Oh yeah, the trail is great for those vehicles. Just make sure height is under 6'10"

[@BernardManansala]

I guess next upgrades are reverse lights?

[@AutoEdits]

🤣

[@dsnuggle]

Nice. Ive been wanting to go there for some time. But not sure if my Braptor will fit. What’s the height. Oh and I know work is slow right now fellow 399 & 80.

[@AutoEdits]

It seems to be 6'10" at that spot. Hope work picks up soon and maybe to see you on set sometime.

[@dsnuggle]

@@AutoEdits ok good rato know. Yeah man its gotta get busy again. But hey maybe we can go on a trail also. Im in San Fernando Valley

[@stanleyjohnson2582]

Hey Jason, how are the bushings on your control arms? I’m trying to decide if I should go Metal Cloak or not.

[@AutoEdits]

I'm extremely happy with the suspension components. The duro bushings are a standout feature.

[@1fsttoy]

No thank you! That cave would scare me. What if you get lost, or a cave in, or meet another vehicle?

[@AustinH7]

Back up lol. You probably would see the headlights first.

[@SQLRYAN]

Great adventure but this one is not for me. Happy to see it through your lens though.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks, glad you at least made it through the video 👍

[@RedStickTxTiger]

Cool but….nope!

[@AutoEdits]

I feel ya.

[@davidwebster3510]

No, thank you too many earthquakes in California hopefully it’s only a one way trip

[@AutoEdits]

It’s an in and back… so just hoping for no earthquakes was the way.

[@biz4twobiz463]

dude, I say with all respect, but you crazy doing that alone!! Maybe I've seen to many scary movies, but... LOL Anyway, Wow, what an adventure!!

[@AutoEdits]

Ha! Thanks 😂
