Having camped there a few times with my dad between 1967 and 71, then moving to the east coast, this set of vids has been a real treat for me. Thanks for binging us along!

The Panamint City area is a careful explorers paradise! It’s far enough off of the beaten tracks to not get trashed. The road being wash away was the best thing to happen to it to keep the riff raff away.

My wife and I and 3 other couples hiked up there in the spring of 1973, when I was working at Lockheed Aircraft Co. in Palmdale Ca. There were a few jeeps (CJs) and a few other people up there (at the "City") so the road wasn't totally washed out like it is in more recent photos and there wasn't any sign of any recent mining going on ! We explored a mineshaft south of the square smokestack that was about 30 feet tall and 30 feet wide that went straight back (heading south) for at least a quarter mile. Never made it to the end of the mineshaft ! There were ore cart tracks laid way back there ! We weren't able to explore as much as we wanted due to bad cases of blisters on several of our feet ! A very memorable couple of days even though it was 49 years ago ! Got blisters on the tops of our feet coming back down ! "Wonder hussy" has been up there a couple of times more recently and has postings on KZbin ! Well worth the hike if you're a strong hiker ! It's a proverbial killer of a hike ! Happy trails !!

All of the newer equipment got stranded up there when the big flood completely decimated the road !! ( when they resumed working it the mines in whatever year)

Thanks for the comment! We show the mine behind the smokestack in this video. It's called the Lewis Tunnel and it goes back roughly 2300 feet. The tracks have since been removed. The hike is definitely worth it if you can make it!

@@forgottenmininghistory Does the Lewis Tunnel actually go to someplace or is it a dead end ? was it actually a mine or did it have another purpose ? That is the portal that has been cement blocked over with a door in it ? Wished we knew about "Water Canyon" and were able to explore more after a hike like that ! (killer hike) Love the place (Panament City) and always wished I could return sometime !! Thanks for your info ! Dave Kissner

My wife and I rode our motorcycles up there in the later part of the 1960s. There was a car parked at one of the "Houses" in down town Panamint city. This was shortly after the Manson farce so we were carrying handguns in case we faced something we didn't want to see. There was some people associated with the car so we turned around and got out of there.

I'm not sure. Miners generally had a higher wage than a lot of jobs at the time. A highly skilled carpenter would probably make more though.
