Tour of the Big War Eagle Mine with new Owner underground

[@olivei2484]

Ross is an interesting guy, glad your were able to get a brief tour.

[@OutdoorRob]

He sure knows a lot about those mines and spends most days down there fixing stuff up and making it safe. Would be quite the life he has living out there and exploring mines all day. Thanks Fred!

Really enjoyed that. The immensity of that place is incredible.

[@OutdoorRob]

And that was only a very tiny bit of the whole mine. Very cool mine for sure, would've loved to spend more time down there but was feeling ill at the time. Thanks Man!

Nice that the owner gave you a great tour ! How long were you in the mine ? Looks like you could have easily spent all day !!

[@OutdoorRob]

Was in the Mine for only about a couple of hours, wasn't feeling well and didn't want to go any further. You could spend a week in that mine and still not see it all, it connects with 3 other mines on the mountain. Quite the place. Used to be that anyone just went and explored the mine but now the new owner has clamped down on the artifact stealing, gating and fencing it but will still do a tour for those that want one. Thanks Vance!

So at the bottom of the long stair case is a geocash I've been to, kinda neat

[@OutdoorRob]

Cool, never went that far, didn't feel well that day. Thanks Man!

@@OutdoorRob there's a picture of my sister and brother(in law) in the geo cash, I was kinda hoping you'd go down there to see if it was still there, they put that picture down there like a couple of years ago.

New owner has taken over now and you have to get permission to go in there and he'll give you a tour for a price. Ross facebook.com/Ross.Dykman

Interesting Rob. Hope the back feels better. Maybe think twice before seeing a Canadian Dr about it though. 🤣kzbin.info/www/bejne/foe6lqyYZcaqfqc

Thanks Terry! My back is about the same, it won't get any better only worse. Not sure what I want to do about it now as it's been 4 years waiting for surgery. Has really slowed me down, can't do nearly as much as I used to but I am getting pretty old now too LOL!
