"The stope was dope, but I've had it with this adit." 🙂 Mine humor, ARR ARR (Robin Williams voice). Thanks for the deluxe episode, T&J!! - Ed on the Ridge

[@markattardo]

Fun seeing the tour here and on Ross' channel. It must have felt very different having a guide. Thanks T&J for another tour👍👍

[@jimmime]

WOW! That was one BIG mine! Just think of all the trees it took to hold up that mountain. Thank you, Tom & Julie!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Jimmi. Yes, and there are five more levels down below the main level that are not in this video. It's a big mine. Thanks for watching!👍😁

A tour with Ross the 1 legged miner is not a disappointment...Laders everywhere Tom. Lol. Ross had done a lot to his mines . Thanks for sharing the tour.

Well, hello, my two Desert Rats. Man, you hit the jack pot with this one. That was just awesome. What a huge mine. I wish you could see the mammoth workings in Eureka Utah it's unbelievable. Gigantic underground workings. Massive stopes and huge haulage tunnels. Anyway, it looks like you all had a great time. Thanks as always for taking me along. And please be safe in all you do. Untill next time thanks again.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Bob. Yes, this is a great mine, and there are three others that Ross owns, as well. All of them are good-sized mines. Hopefully, someday, we can get over to the Eureka area. We all had a good time in this one. You're welcome, and thank you for watching and for the nice comment!👍😊

[@highdesertbill]

[@SusanLeonetti-tg5fp]

Amazing adventure. Thanks for taking me on this great mine. Never be in a mine. It's like going back in time.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Susan. Yes, the history of the old mines is a big part of the appeal. It's always an adventure exploring these. Thanks for watching!👍😁

[@Justme85857]

Excellent video

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

[@richardbeee]

Ain't no ribbing about that cribbing. Great tour.😊

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Haha, that's a good one Richard!👍😁

[@richardbeee]

@TomandJulieMineExploring just had to think of something good.

[@lloydbaker6988]

Thanks, Tom and Julie, Fun Day exploring, with you two and the one leg miner.👍

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Lloyd. Glad that you enjoyed the explore. Ross gets around pretty good with his prosthetic leg. Thanks for the comment!👍😁

[@jerryrichter4904]

very nice and thanks for sharing

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Jerry. Glad that you liked the video. You're welcome, and thank you for watching!👍😊

[@EverydayProjects]

Cool artifacts in there, Tom! Your friend Ross was very kind to take you on a tour. I guess the powder mag was to keep tight control of the explosives--even from the everyday miner. Very cool that there are still tracks and carts in there. Glad to see you two still out having fun!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Craig. Yes, Ross gave us a good tour. The powder mags were just another measure of safety to keep the explosives dry and secure away from the blasting caps and fuse. Thanks for watching and commenting!👍😁

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Happy New Year to everyone! It's always great to see how things are going with Ross. Can't wait to see the slusher online again. It sure will help clearing the shafts for track. You guys could spend days in the mines there and probably still not see it all. But it would make some great videos. Thanks for a pleasant surprise guys!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Happy New Year. He's talking about doing some blasting and mucking, so we'll see what happens. You're right that you could spend days in these mines and not see everything. Thanks for watching!👍😁

[@OdySlim]

Hey Tom & Julie 27:26 looks like an invitation to return. Have a good weekend

[@rogers8786]

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Tony. You're welcome. Glad that you liked the mine. Thanks for the comment!👍😁

[@HikeCamp]

Boy you had entire mining shift crew on this one. From the portal it looked like a small mine but was quite big inside.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Max. Yes, we had the full crew for the tour. It's a large mine, for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting!👍😁

[@markattardo]

32:16 must have been one heck of and event to twist those rails next to the skinny ladder.

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

This mine is on my list!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Dave. Talk to Ross for a tour. The mines are all locked up tight.👍😁

[@chuckh630]

Happy New Year! Looking forward to all of the new adventures and explores.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Chuck. Happy New Year to you, as well. Thanks for the comment!👍😁

[@bfmorris5706]

That haulage tunnel goes about 2.5 miles into the mouuntain if I recall correctly.

[@eddeeshaw543]

Did you guys go soak in the hot springs afterwards????

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Eddee. No, we didn't. There are several in the area, though. Even a mud hole just outside of town. Thanks for the comment!👍😁

[@cheycasters]

Cool!!! First Time Ive Been Down Here.....What were they mining by the way?

[@jamesriggsdds2337]

Lead/silver

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Did Somebody Steel The wheels On Those Carts???

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Yes, the wheels have been removed and most likely stolen. ☹️

[@bobterry2952]

Thanks!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]
