i spent much of my life in the State of Idaho and Oregon exploring old mines, abandoned ranches and just following old roads to see where the ended up. much like you do. I love to visit these types of places where I imagine what the people looked like, what they accomplished and marveled at the determination of these industrious people. I wonder why they left and where they went. iy life was much like yours except I had no way to document my experiences other than handwriting which I often didn't take the time to do so.

It's astounding to me these mines were most likely dug with a pick and shovel. Who were these miners? Where were they from? Where did they go? Did they really make enough money to survive as miners? A thousand questions that will never be answered. Thanks for allowing us to live these dreams through you.

I am amazed at the amount of labor it took to dig these mines, collect the ore and transport it out. Did the miners lay rails in each mine and transport the ore in minecarts? After they finished one tunnel, would they remove the rails and install them in the next tunnel? Were these tunnels dug at a time when gasoline-powered trucks were available? What mineral were they after in these tunnels? Gold? I can't imagine anyone today putting in this much physical labor to make a living.

After Gly, of Abandoned & Forgotten Places spoke of you, I had to check out your ventures.These adets seemed to be a layering of mud and sediment. Seen some Chert on the walls of the last adet you were in. I wonder what the miners were going for. The fossils that you pointed out denote that this area was under water some 1,000 of yrs. ago. I did not see any quartz vein on the back of the adet, onless the miners cleaned it out as they went in. You never showed the face to show what mineral may have peetered out. Your "explore" was interesting. Thank you for documenting it and taking us along.

In most mines, the tunnel is literally following the ore vein.. If the vein curves to the right, so does the tunnel. Finally all ore veins Peter out. However, there might be several veins which emerge from a main vein.

Probable makes sense to bring wire snips and wire or pliers to clip it and fix after with a crimp or wire wrap just don’t cut in the middle only @ ends you can mend with coat hanger make loops @ ends of the barb that you clip and run a coat hanger clipping through to mend it 😅😅😅

how did the miners do that trip and not fall to their deaths, it is a deadly climb and a lot of loose rocks, what if one lost their footing? What do you see on this tracking, first mine, was it real dangerous.
