- After making the drive out to Chloride City we come to a great viewpoint overlooking Death Valley. Wow, is all I can say about the view. We check out a nearby grave and the ruins of several structures before entering a cabin that has a nice portal to a mine right out it's back door. How handy is that for the miners? We find a really interesting working that winds it's way a long way down into the mountain. There is a collapsed vertical shaft and a couple winze shafts with mounts for a windlass on one of them. We hope you enjoy the video!
gotta love them old Cabins..... knee pads will save ya every time ... that drift doesn't look low to us ....hahhahahah that wire is for the hoist bell , we have one in our Drift mine too .... that was a cool little mine .....would be fun to run the skip car around in there .....keep'em coming and be safe out there you two ......PLUS we smashed that like button ....SMASHED it HARD !!!!!
I always have knee pads in my pack, but a lot of times I'm too lazy to put them on. You and I are about the same height, I'm guessing, although I probably have a little more meat on me, anyway it would have been low for you, too. I thought about running a car on those tracks, too. Like a little roller coaster. You better take it easy on that like button of yours. The way you're always smashing it you might break it to bits. Thanks, Jeff!
@@TomandJulieMineExploring same here hahahahaha yes that would have been fun .....smashing that Like Button ...Oh Yeah !!!!1
Those old miners didn't take out any more rock than absolutely necessary. Another great explore! Thanks for sharing.
No they didn't. Rocks don't like to be moved unless gravity is helping out. Thanks for watching and commenting, Roger!
That is one of the weirdest mines i've seen. The geology was swattered and fragmented, with what looked like brown talc and quartz veins. Whoever drove all those adits and stopes was fragmented as well - low small passages, lots of blockages - they must have been small men with sore backs. really odd, thanks for venturing into that sketchy mine for your viewing pleasure :)
It is a strange mine for sure. I'm a believer that many of the old time miners were fairly small and very agile men. Tough as nails, too. Glad that you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting!
From what I can find in the immediate area of the mine it was gold, silver, lead, copper, and mercury.
There's something to be said for a mine like this. I don't think there's a such thing as an easy mine but this mine looks like a real "Ball Buster". Beautiful view of Death Valley. Absolutely breath taking! Thanks for bringing us along Tom and Julie!
It was more a back breaker than a ball buster. Lol The views from up there never get old. Thanks for the comment, William!
What an amazing adventure Thank you for another magnificent video my friends
Glad that you enjoyed it, John.Thanks for the comment!
That’s the mine of the 7 dwarfs. Tom you are a wonder! Thanks for letting Julie sit it out. Great video. Thanks
Haha, I guess it is for small miners. Glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting, Jeff!
Always look forward to your adventures. Living in Indiana we don't have places like this. Thanks so much for taking us along with you. Safe adventures
You're welcome and glad that you're enjoying the adventures, Michael. Hope all is well for you in Indiana.
Very underrated explore channel.
Thanks for the nice comment, Daniel. We appreciate it!
I dunno, Tom. I must be getting old - between the vertigo from the drive up and the claustrophobia in that
tiny mine, I was empathy-squirming in concern for you guys!
Glad it all went well as always, see you next time!
- Ed on the Ridge
Never a dull moment on the old mine exploring trail. Hope you recover in time for the next one. Thanks, Ed!
What a trip! You got more than me Tom. I saw that big crack above that first stull and that would have been, adios for me. That ground looked tore up from the ground down. Be cool.
Hahaha
Haha, maybe I have a smaller brain than you. It's not the most stable of mines that's for sure. Thanks for the comment, Richard!
Interesting little mine. Fun, too. Thanks for sharing.
Glad that you enjoyed it, Pethoviejo. Thanks for the comment!
What a crazy disorienting hole in the ground, thanks you two.
You never know what to expect when you go into a hole in the ground. Thanks for the comment, Mick!
Very cool. Thanks guys !
You're welcome, Frank. Glad that you enjoyed it!
Thanks once again Tom and Julie for another great mine find it was very unusual to see the mine entrance behind the hut that you when through
Hi Tony. You're welcome, and it is unusual to have the mine portal go through the back of your cabin. Thanks for leaving a comment for us!👍😁
Geez, that's the most ramshackle mine I've ever seen. Thanks for braving the rotten ceiling and hobbit-sized entrance to bring us another interesting mine explore.
It is all over the place. Glad that you enjoyed it!
You made it back overview there, cool. It's nice that you can be close by you can go back. The entry reminds me when we crawled into the scariest talc mine at sea level. Turns out, it's a fun mine. Thanks for going back to see it
We've been out that way several times. It's a bit of a haul to get out there though. This one is not nearly as scary as our Most Dangerous Talc Mine video. Thanks for watching, Ken!
@@TomandJulieMineExploring
i agree, not scary, just the low ceiling. its a fun area for sure. i got permission to explore that Big one from the park service, i just need a key from them
Great little mouse hole mine. At 11.25 you can see the rope burns in the stull. Deep too. Love it
Yes, it is. I'll have to watch again to look for the rope burns. Thanks, Aaron!
Cool explore guys and what an awesome view you can almost see forever thanks added a like and share stay safe cheers.
Yes, great views forever, Tom. Thanks for the comment and share!
the drive across amargosa valley just to get there is amazing as well, 1:13 yep, that's chloride city highway 1:46 furnace creek and stovepipe wells is out there 3:53 the spelling is the same as john mackay of the comstock fame, cool, i find it amazing that the prospectors of old were crawling all over the funeral range, the place is deadly for heat, cold and sheer desolation from any water, but the bullfrog goldrush in nearby beatty started it all, chloride cliffs/city provided high grade gold close to the surface for years 12:12 those tracks go straight through what was very good gold ore, good video y'all, i enjoy watching it, regards
I think about the old time prospectors scouring these mountains, too. It's really pretty amazing what they were able to do. Hiking around for days at a time with a couple canteens of water, a pocket full of jerky and a can or two of beans. Carrying a pick and a shovel, bedroll and wearing stiff leather boots. How they could possibly climb up to some of the places they did is beyond me. Glad that you have enjoyed this area and thanks for commenting!
@@TomandJulieMineExploring i have discovered the old caned fish, sardines and bean tins with perfect printing on them years ago exploring bare mountain, of which is directly across amargosa valley from chloride cliffs and keane's wonder mine, and this clearly told me the old timers were tough as it humanly gets to afford to pack in everything to survive for who know's how long? in the funerals and upper amargosa valley with enough water, food, mule, burro or horse supplies to explore for gold, silver and even copper in the chloride cliffs, and surrounding mining districts in both california and nevada back then. regards
Tiny men had great mine's 👍 👌 ☺️
Haha, that's a pretty good line. Thanks, Richard! 👍👍👊
Mighty small hole, my back hurts just looking at it. They might have scrimped on dynamite but they sure didn't spare expense on track ties, biggest ties I have seen in an old mine. Thanks T and J !!!
It's a low one alright. Maybe the ties were repurposed from somewhere else. There are several mines in this area. Thanks for the comment, Robert!
Wow, I don't think I have seen the Jeep before, probably just missed it in other videos. I was expecting something big and built for the trails you go on, but it is a stock YJ with nearly bald tires! Awesome! Imagine what a built YJ could do. (just get you deeper in trouble I guess) LOL
Yes, mostly stock YJ. The tires aren't bald though. They only have about 8000 miles on them. They are pretty chewed up from the sharp rocks we drive on, though. It goes just about every place we want it to, especially after removing the track bars and sway bar. What a huge difference in traction that made. Not a huge fan of big, built up and expensive vehicles. We leave this out in the desert while hiking and exploring mines. I would worry if we did that with a $75,000 Jeep or Toyota. Plus, the scratches and dents we get don't hurt as much on this old Jeep. Thanks for the comment!
Fun explore however when Tom went under those Delaminated Hanging Walls chills ran down my spine.
I hear ya. I'll probably end up squashed like a bug sometime. I guess that's better than dying from boredom on the couch. Sorry to make you worry and thanks for the comment!
Wow that was the creepiest adventure yet Tom. I would not have wanted to go through there.
I must have a strange sense of fun. It keeps you in the moment, at least, and not worrying about the price of gas etc. Thanks for commenting, William!
Great Video Tom and Julie! Way cool dug out cabins! RIP James! 👍✌️
I bet those dugouts were nice back in the day. Don't know much about James except that's where he ended up. Thanks for the comment, Kevin!👍✌️👊
Thanks for sharing!🤙🤙
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Hello Tom Hello Julie
A nice little Mine.
It looks a bit Caotic how the Tunnels were build .
The winze was build at the end of the mining because the Hoist was build up on the tracks.
So the the tracks were useless .
But who knows what the miners did and why a long time ago.
The colours looks like copper
Thank you for the Video
And the great view over death valley.
I wish you a happy weekend and a good New week
Greetings yours Frank Galetzka
Hello Frank, good observation about the hoist blocking the tracks. It's definitely a bit chaotic and like you said who knows what has happened over the years. Thanks for the comment and we hope you have a great weekend!
Great video and nice to see Julie smile :)
It's always good to see Julie smike. Glad that you enjoyed the video, Walt!
Wow, Tom, you're crazier than I am. That mine was sketchy at best. Glad you made it out okay.
It was not the most stable one we've been in. I have to say it was not the worst either. Thanks for the comment!
Beautiful views!!
Fun stuff.
Thanks!
👍👍👍👊😎
Glad you liked it, George! 👍👍👊
Great explore, that was one interesting mine, those miners were hands and knees all the way or awfully short lol, TY for sharing...
I can't imagine trying to work all day in those low drifts and stopes. Must have been small and tough guys. Thanks, Dave!
That was a pretty neat mine and camp too. Looked like it’s been though some crazy workings and super low back! Thanks for the trip guys
It seems like it has been through a few different working phases. I didn't really show the collapsed vertical shaft where all the junk is that I came down along side. There was probably a good ladder system coming down the shaft. That would at least make the access easier and to pull a skip out for the ore and waste. Thanks for the comment!
Looks more like a roller-coaster than a working mine!
Haha, it really does. Thanks for the comment, Paul!
Boy those are some tight tunnels. The lure of gold or whatever there is digging out of there must be pretty strong for those guys to mole through those tight tight tunnels. Enjoy the video keep them coming keep safe out there you guys.
Hey Eddie, yes those are mole tunnels all right. Glad that you enjoyed the video. Hope you're staying cool and thanks for commenting!
That was worth the drive. That was the grave of the guy who talked his partners into hauling all the gear up that steep steep road promising them they would become rich beyond their wildest dreams. Cool video. Thanks
Haha, that could be what happened. Thanks for the funny comnent, Dave!
Thanks Tom es Julie! I would have opted out of that. I couldnt walk that far bent over ;-)
Have a good weekend. Regards from Ody Slim
It's a low one. Thanks, Ody! Have a great weekend!
That mine couldn't decide which way to go. A little up, some down, some sideways, a little more down......., maybe we'll put some track in here too!
Haha, exactly. The mineral vein must have been all over the place. Thanks, Kesley!
Thank you Tom and Julie. What a great little mine. And spectacular view of Death Valley. It looked very sketchy in there. Stay safe out there and I hope you had a nice Fourth of July.
Those are some of the best views of Death Valley anywhere. Too bad it was a little hazy from the dust and wind. Definitely not the most stable mine. Thanks, David!
That was one heck of an adventure! Surprised you don't see more adits with a cabin in front like that.
Yes, the cabin makes sense. It would be easy to keep an eye on your claim and a short trip to get to work. There was a collapsed vertical shaft that I'm sure was used to haul up ore and waste. Thanks for commenting, Mark!
Thank You for being brave enough to go in. That mine would never win a beauty contest let alone a safety award. Probably a frustrating work place for anyone over 48" tall. The ore car was probably all dented in from daily derails and track alignment, did I say alignment? Didn't mean to, anyways you deliver good entertainment and awesome views. Thanks again.
No, this one is not pretty, but I'm sure it produced some ore. Maybe it was nicer back in the day before the vertical shaft head works collapsed. Glad that you enjoy our videos, Carl. Thanks for commenting!
That must have been the Seven Dwarfs Mine with two foot high Ore Cars. It seemed really random and disorganized too. My back hurt just watching you navigate through it.
Haha, that's the prevailing theory of who mined this place. I can't imagine working all day in some of those low areas. Thanks for commenting, Stewart!
Hello! Super!😁👍
Hello. 👍😆
Very Interesting! 👍
Thanks, glad that you liked it!👍👍
What an interesting explore. The dugout cabins and row vista view of The Valley. Tom you did good on rear scramble down further into that mine. The miners musta been rather short.Thanks Julie and Tom for sharing your adventure.🖤🖤
Glad you liked the explore, Jake. The views are some of the best in all of Death Valley. The dugouts are fun to see. I wonder what they looked like before they blew down. I agree, the miners were not very tall. Thanks for commenting!
Hi Tom & Julie, I will send you an email after my dinner (it's around 6:15 PM here in the UK).
The views were outstanding, you guys were so high up above the valley there but it really does
make for some fantastic views. The mine was so strange in how it was laid out, it was all over
the place. Thank you for sharing, much love to you both & Pickles. xx 💖
Hi Sue, I hope you received our response to your email.
Those are some great views from high above the valley. Too bad it was a little hazy from the wind and dust. It is a strange little mine. Workings going all over the place. Thanks for commenting, Sue!💖👍😽
@@TomandJulieMineExploring thank you I just responded, much love. xx 🙏💖
Danke für das Hochladen und eure Muhe
You're welcome, Wolfgang. Thanks for watching!
Hello Tom and Julie. Interesting finding a grave out there with a marker you can still read. The mine itself looked like it was in pretty rough shape when you climbed down to the lower level. But still interesting non the less. Great video, take care.
I believe the Park Service has kept the sign in good shape. The mine is not in great shape but quite interesting to explore. Thanks for watching and commenting, Stephen!
awesome ride through DV to get here and wow an adit behind the cabin, very cool! very jumbled mine inside there.. the bit with the tracks makes no sense it is so low in there! what a weird place thanks for showing us around
Hey Thorn, some if these small operations didn't take out anymore material than they had to. Hence the low workings. I'm not sure how it was even possible to work in some of those low areas. Always fun times in DV as you well know. Thanks for the comment!
Another Awsome episode with my two favorite explorer's 😍 Never a boaring moment!
It's really cool how they built the shelters, and I seen you found another box spring lol
Looking forward to your next episode!!!!!
You are too kind, Rick. The box springs never dissappear from the mines and camps. Those dugouts were probably pretty nice back in the day. Thanks for the comment!
I can see why Julie took a break from this one! Very interesting mine and very nice tour Tom! Glad you had a good time, Thanks and stay safe!
Glad that you enjoyed the mine and tour. Anytime I come out alive I'm having a good time. Thanks for watching, Ron!
I love the vids Tom And Julie yall are one of my favorite channel to watch .
Barbara and my self will be in death footage alley for a week or so that should give us some excellent explores . keep having fun and stay safe out there
Glad you're enjoying the videos, Jeff. We spend a month or two around Death Valley every year and have not seen all that we want to yet. Thanks for the comment'
@@TomandJulieMineExploring we do the same , and it seems like we barley achieve anything , the one place we love to go to is the Koi pond we bring food to feed them . Makes for a nice relaxing stop . Talk with ya late tom and Julie have a good day
Awesome video
Thanks, Neal!
Good morning!!
Mornin' Dave!
Glad to see what I missed. Been wanting to van out there again and camp for that sunrise.
When you were filming at about 1:30 I had the van there and found the geocache at the little turnout.
You and that van had me impressed when I followed your tracks the day after you left. I don't want to call you crazy but...
I didn't see any geocache, but then I wasn't looking for it, plus, I can't see much anymore. Thanks for commenting, Chillis. Hope all is well!
@@TomandJulieMineExploring I got some taller tires put on and have already been to some gnarly places. Was in a car accident last week and my knee is messed up. Found a spot that makes for an awesome hike and possible mine explore with the van. I tried hiking some of the location but got tired and had to come back down.
You all would make short work of it though.
Cool old truck there and a barrel they turned into a tram ore bucket possibly with that old truck with the boom.
That sounds like a cool place. Let's go!
@@TomandJulieMineExploring you know it. It is surprisingly close to places you've been.
With that old car frame, you can say that this is what happens when you drive on some of those roads and get stuck in a bad place.
That vehicle was stripped to the bone wasn't it. I always worry about leaving our Jeep out there while we're in a mine. I'd hate to lose our ride home. Thanks, Grumpy!
From the looks of the pot and dwelling could have been a bad batch of popcorn.💣💥 Just roll out of bed and get to work. Had to look up definition of stull. Don't recall hearing it used before. That has to be one of the worst from all of the cracks, debris and dust. Makes me wonder how many got injured in the mining process. Not to mention lungs full of dust. 👌🚙
Haha, bad popcorn. That's what happened to the dwelling. I'm pretty sure mining was a very dangerous job back in the day and lung problems were probably common. Thanks for the comment!
Tom, I'm glad Julie stayed back. That rock was so fissured and collapses were everywhere. Do you suppose the height was changed by decades of falling rock and possibly abandoned fill? Maybe there's an upper portal and they dumped down to that level? I noticed that large platform/walkway up that stope. It's almost like they took timber support out for elsewhere?
The drive up was beautiful and it's easy to see how that in itself draws you and Julie time and again. Your dugout and shack find were awesome. And there was a Portal!
The vehicles from the historical era there must have needed a lot of maintenance to get where your modern Jeep can go? Who knows what model that one was? I suppose it became a platform for using its motor and a modified drivetrain. Power for a hoist maybe, or a smaller stamp mill? There's always something to speculate at that kind of site.
Another great, and daring adventure.
You take care Tom.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Rick. The drive out to these type areas is usyally a fun one with great views. It sure must have takena toll on the old vehicles. It is fun to think of the drivetrain from that vehicle being repurposed to run a generator, pump or mill of some sort. The rest of the parts disappeared from that vehicle, too
Glad that you enjoyed this odd little mine!
fantastic views!
They sure are. We love it. Thanks for the comment!
Also, with the lack of headroom, maybe they were Leprechauns from Ireland doing miners' work?
Leprechauns are a possibility. Whoever they were they had to have sore backs at the end of the day.
Good job Tom of taking us with you down through that mess. But it was smart on your part letting Julie stay behind. From the looks of some of the sides trying to slab off you never know what could happen. Until next time God bless.
Julie is smarter than me when it comes to certain things. Safety being one of them. Thanks for taking the tour with me, and for the blessing, Jimmy!
You both have nerves of steal. I could never do that great video.
I guess it wouldn't be for everyone. Thanks for the comment, Steven!
I first visited ol' James' grave over 20 years ago - and several more times, since. I've often wondered why the park service has left that mine open, not that I'm complaining, mind you.
I can't remember if there was a cable net closure on this one or not. It's been a couple months since we made this video. People always cut them anyway so I don’t know why the NPS wastes the money on them. I guess it's a way to cover their butts in case someone gets hurt in there. Glad that you've had the chance to see this one. Thanks for commenting, Jim!
lots of loose rocks on that skip track, pretty sketchy looking . couple questions (1) do you always go back to home base after exploring , or do you sometimes camp at or near the mine. (2) have you ever ran into other explorers deep inside a mine. (3) have you ever found a mine you would consider a good " bug out spot "
We have a base in the form of an RV. Sometimes in a private park, a public campground or sometimes boondocking. We have run into other explorers deep in a mine, but not very often. Mine for a bug out spot? I guess it depends on what I'm getting away from. Mines are generally not that fun to hang out in, IMHO. The temperature can be hot or cold, lots of rat droppings, dirty, dark and dusty. We're usually glad to get out and into the fresh air. Hope that answers your questions, Tony.
Weird level but cool too
Yes, a strange little mine, but cool to explore. Thanks for watching, David!
Interesting and somewhat deceptive mine - a lot of workings down there. I think you stumbled on a troll mine...
Glad that you found the place interesting. Thanks for the comment, BT!
Looks like the miner stripped the only the bare minimum of the mineral vein, this must have made it back breaking work, now maybe we know what that man in the grave died of.
I don't want to laugh but the grave might be that of a miner with a broken back. Thanks for the comment, John!
RIP James
Well said.
And to think they drove mine trucks on that road.. Another one that looks more like a cave than a mine.
I have no idea how the old trucks, or the people who drove them, survived the trip to the old mines, No electronic traction control or anti lock brakes and tires that were about three inches wide. Probably ovetloaded most of the time with very basic suspensions on steep mountain roads. Yes, another strange little mine. Thanks for the comment, Max!
At 9:31 it almost looks like there's an old denim bag towards the left of the rocks? Probably just twisted metal. The cabin was pretty cool and the mine had a lot going on! Thanks for the video!
I looked at that time again and see what looked like a fuse spool and some blue minerals. There's a good bit of junk in that area. Thanks for watching, George!
I am always interested in what the ore contained.My dad was a sampler in Lacnor uranium mine at Elliot lake Ontario Canada.
This was primarily a silver mine. Like many mines thete were probably other metals that were present like gold and or lead. Thanks for the comment, David!
Glad you didn't hike much more down there it was looking slippery and hard to crawl back up! Kind of sketchy. U made the right choice in my opinion and went back up to where your partner was. How long were you gone from her? Do you have equpment to contact each other? The mine went into that little shack up top. That was kinda cool.. As always stay safe you two...👀👀
You're correct it was getting to be a slippery slope near the bottom of the mine. I was probably inside the mine about an hour before I came back up to where Julie was waiting. We gave radios to communicate with each other, but the range inside a mine is very limited. The cabin right at the portal was cool. Thanks for the comment, Duane!
Road's in great shape, must be frequented by ranchers, prospectors, mine explorers, etc.
Is this year cooler therw too? Been very mild here this year...
That mine's a trip - too big to call a glory hole, to small to call industrial scale....but doable. Set your solar panels up, a satellite internet antenna &some other radio gear, water tank & a swamp cooler, set up a camp stove & some bedding and move right in. ;*[}
The majority of the road out there is in great shspe. It gets tougher as you climb up the mountain, of course. This video was made a couple months ago as we don't spend time here in the summer. I'm not sure if it's been a hot year in DV or not. The mine is kind of in between sizes, bigger than a gopher hole, but certainly not an industrial powerhouse. Thanks for commenting, Steven!
I would guess that the cabin at the portal would be for changing clothes before and after your shift digging.
That very well could be. This mine is a little small to have a big crew though. I have seen changing rooms like that at bigger mines. Thanks for the comment, Bob!
😎👍
Thanks, Frank!👍👍
This is was a great video 👍🎉
I do have one question...
What is the pretty blue stuff they were mining?
Thank you for the wonderful work!
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Elizabeth. A lot of the mines have more than one mineral or metal in them. The blue minerals are usually associated with copper. Gold, silver, and lead are common, too. Thanks for the comment!👌😊
I was out here a few days ago and someone put a boulder in the path at 1:28.
Need to bring a pry bar and roll it off of the mountain.
That's odd. I wonder why someone would do that. Maybe it rolled down on it's own.
That's odd. I wonder why someone would do that. Maybe it rolled down on it's own.

Have you guys ever explored southeast Arizona for mines? There are many old mines around tombstone and bisbee. Think lots of gold, silver, and copper mines.
We have not done much in southeast Arizona. We have done a few things around western AZ.
Dang it. Lol 🍺🍺🍻🍻
I knew you wouldn't forget to buy us a beer. 👍🍻🍺🍺
Looks like a "wing it" mine. No kind of plan. 🇨🇦
This is a very old mine and probably a lot of hand work was involved. They didn't move more than they had to. Thanks for commenting, Les!
that enamel ware pot,, it would still make a sieve.
Haha, I think it was even beyond that, Mick.
I don't know what the vehicle was, but it's 1920's or earlier.
The wood on the frame rail should be a clue. I have no idea what it was, either. Thanks for commenting, Jeff!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR KEEPING IT SHORT NOT JUST STARING FOR A LONG TIME AT A BUNCH OF 10 CANS OR WHATEVER 15 TO 20 MINUTES MAX IS THE CHARM I THINK 🤔 YOU HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES TO GET MONITORIZED BY CZcams AND I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY MORE MINUTES MAYBE 20 MINUTES TO GET DOUBLE MONETIZED BUT THAT'S ABOUT AS MUCH AS I GO THESE PEOPLE TO GO FOR 30 OR 40 MINUTES OR MORE I DON'T EVEN WATCH THEM EXCEPT FOR JULY I LOST AN ABANDONED BUDDY HAS A TALENT FOR KEEPING IT ENTERTAINING BUT MOST DON'T HAVE WONDER HUSSY SHE REALLY HASN'T NAILED DOWN THAT 15 OR 20 MINUTES ONCE IN A WHILE 22 MINUTES OR SO.

Haha, yes it does. Thanks, Michael!
I was wondering if you guys are carrying an oxygen meter I have never seen one with you. I hope you have one because some of these minds have some really bad air.
We have enjoyed all your videos keep up the good work thank you
Hi George. We both carry monitors to check for bad air. Julie usually carries an O2 meter and I usually carry a four gas monitor. The problem we have with them is that they tend to get pulled off while crawling through a small space. If I wear mine on the outside of my pack I tether it with a light rope to my pack so it doesn’t get knocked off and fall down a shaft. The reason you might not always see them is that many times they are in the pack pocket. Thanks for your comment on this important matter.
@@TomandJulieMineExploring Thank you for your fast response. MY wife and I enjoy your videos. Thank you again ❤️❤️❤️
@@georgesowers442 You're welcome. We're glad you both enjoy our videos!
Julie, thanks for repeating what Tom said when he was a little away from you.
You're welcome, Ed. (Julie)
Looks like the miners were gnomes. Maybe Sleeping Beauty lived there.
You may be thinking of Snow White. There are no gnomes, dwarfs or mines in Sleeping Beauty. In two rather disturbing variants of the story the Prince rapes the Princess in her sleep. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the dwarfs own and work in a diamond mine.
@@DFDuck55 Never liked Disney. Close enough for government work.
Whoever worked here must have ended each day with a very sore back. Not much height 8n this one. Thanks for the comment, Roger!
Good one, Duck.
@@rogersmith7396: Disney had nothing to do with either story other than to turn them into animated films (cartoons). I suspect the Disney versions are based on The Brothers Grimm (Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm) versions of the stories, first published in 1812. But both stories are much older than that. The original Sleeping Beauty dates back to the early 1600s.
What part of Oregon are y'all from?
We spend the summers in Central Oregon south of Bend. Thanks for asking.
@@TomandJulieMineExploring Great vids,saw the Oregon plate on the jeep,I'm in Eugene area.I explore Placer and lode mines here.
Hope your Jeep don't break down you really are in the middle of no where.
I hope so, too. If we do break down we are always prepared to walk out if necessary. It might take a whole day and night but we'll get out somehow.
I'm trying to find the person responsible and get them to change it from Friday to TomandJulieday.
Haha, best comment of the week. I hope you find the person in charge of that. Thanks for the chuckle!
