[@mountainmikeoutdoors]

@@desert-walker millennia of trial and error.

I visited maybe 10 years ago with my wife. I do not remember the no trespassing signs, but I do remember the street signs that led us to the parking area. There were many other people there that day. Glad I made it before the signs went up.

Done very Well....

How about doing a video covering the dream mine in Salem/Mapelton area. Easy to find it on the mountain. Many in Utah County still think the mine will play out one day at the end of times …

[@mountainmikeoutdoors]

@@Forested-pz9cp I've got a brief older video on that, but I am working on a newer high quality documentary style video for it. That one's been in the works for years I'm just having a hard time finding footage, and the mines owners are less than willing to allow me to film on site.

It is insane to me the lengths they were going through in 1921 just for a few ounces.

[@mountainmikeoutdoors]

@@DavidVerbout some of these mill tailings piles that were deposited in the 1880's-1920's are being reprocessed to extract the significant levels of remaining precious metals to this day. Crazy how far the concentration processes have come.

[@ReaperRestorations]

now do one about the facility above Springville where it looks like snow on the mountain.

[@mountainmikeoutdoors]

That's an old Lime Kiln! I'll check it out.
