Thanks for setting the record straight. The graffiti first started showing up around 2017. It targeted us at first, then Boxy and later others. The individual doing this apparently knows no bounds, defacing historic signs, structures, private property and mines. We have an album of his handiwork and it's disturbing to say the least.

That makes total sense about the denim hunter. Boxy mentioned in a video how much he hated people defacing mines with spray paint. It never made sense to me to see all the Boxy graffiti. Thanks for clarifying. I like his explores too.

@@GeneMcGrath I don't know if any of them are denim hunters. They weren't going to find any where they broke in - those mines were active as little as three years ago and are on care and maintenance for restart. The two guys from California and Phoenix were the ones arrested, I believe one is a commercial pilot and the other is an air traffic controller. In hindsight, we should have forwarded the police report to the FAA. I wasn't present for their arrest but heard it was pretty funny since one of their videos was shown to them while they were cuffed on the side of I-10!

The story time last Wednesday's episode was really cool. Greetings from Germany. And kick that goofball into a shaft when you meet him.

Thanks, Gly. That's a fun area to explore. Julie took the chain ladder down. It sucks. It flattens out some then goes vertical again at a small level.

Aerojet General had a large mfg and test facility just to the NE of Sacramento, CA. At one time in the sixties it employed about 10,000 people IIRC, but that diminished as we moved on into the nineties. I was unaware they had a location where you found the fencing and warning sign. Early on one of their specialties was rocket engine development for our space program. You could hear the tests for miles around Sacramento as they fired a prototype attached to a test stand. One of my neighbors worked there and I found in talking that he was an electrical engineer. It turned out he designed circuitry for rockets and yearly went to White Sands for a month or so to play with toys. McDonnell-Douglas also had a facility adjoining Aerojet and one day one of their rocket motors broke free of the test stand, but that is a story for another day. Thanks for the video, that one adit was a bit scary. Loose conglomerate or agglomerate always makes me nervous.

I finally got my question answered when you explained the fenced in flats. We can always see the light colored, flat land in the distance as you use your drone in this area. So its a playa from a lake bed that was used, as you say, as a military fly over for old ordinance practice. Thanks for thinking through the way the mill got the water from the spring area, but oh gosh! look at the distance from the water source to the "workings" (mill). Those mine operators were "driven" men. So trying your luck at the adets on the other side of the hill, then bummer, the interior of the adet was all collapsed. At 33:12, I could see the "sparkles" in the right, upper rock. The next adet was interesting what with that lower winze. Perhaps you'll bring rope just so that you can go down on that chain held ladder to see what is all down there. It sure took alot of perserverance by the mine workers to keep following that quartz vein. (lots of hauling out). But thats what hard rock mining cracks up to be....follow the mineral. Thanks for the good narration about what we/you were seeing. Another interesting "explore".

A lot of the time it’s people who carry things like a knife, a torch and a few bits of compact kit that could come in handy with day to day life etc.. The thing is, none of the people I follow do anything like the kind of things you do. I would love to learn about all of the gear you use every time you head out on an adventure, along with the prep you do, your vehicle set up and what each video requires to be made.

Holy crap gly your in my stomping grounds out there! Crazy to see the lake bed fenced off as that’s somewhat recent. The wild horses used to hang out there and run along passing trucks going by. Was just out there Memorial Day weekend to see the petroglyphs. Most of the mines I know of in that area are really crumbly. But short of abandoned mines in that area it is definitely not. That county that my grandparents have live in for 70+ years is packed full of so many things people will never know about. North of 95 is packed full of mines and mine camps and to the west in the wussuk range at the main route over into the next valley is a cluster of mines that really spike an interest. Just please stop and give your respects to my late brother near the old town site. If your a “lucky boy”you’ll see it.

Question: is Hantavirus any kind of concern in the entrances to old mines? I saw plenty of warning signs between Bishop all the way up to the Yosemite entrance a few years back. Glad to see you set the record straight, and that Boxy Dan won't be catching any flack for something he didn't do. And whoever was doing that ought to have their crayons taken away and sat in the corner.

“Gly”: I do my best not to kick up dust but the threat of hantavirus is out there. That’s why you only see me film pack rat and mice nests but never rifle through them.

Thanks! Question do you ever take samples from the veins you see in mines?

“Gly”: Thanks for the donation! In the past I would take sample and sell them on my eBay site but now that the channel is commercial I can’t do that anymore without having a valid claim. These days I’m not interested in staking a claim because I move around too much.

Thanks for explaining the graffiti thing. I’ll be careful in what I’m going to say here, but I have seen both the graffiti and the negative remarks you mentioned more than once and wondered what was going on. Now I know which end of the chip the dip is on.

My entire city is built on an abandoned gypsum mine. We used to be able to go down and see it for science class back in the 90’s. It was used for cold storage. Liability ruined that. Your videos are as close as I’m gonna get for now. Still have a piece of that gypsum as a door stop.
