    **DISCLAIMER ** I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYBODY, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, TO ENTER AN ABANDONED MINE OR CAVE OF ANY SORT ** DO NOT ENTER THESE **
    I came across a place I found on Google Maps that was home to an awesome looking slot canyon. Upon further inspection I was able to find evidence of old mine from back in they day so it further peaked my interest.
    Fast forward 4 weeks to now, when I'm on the road and traveling through the area, and I was finally able to get into the wash and explore it for myself. This must have been a very large operation due to the evidence of A LOT of left over mining road, tires, and foundations.
    I believe this was a Borax ore mine but I was unable to find much information about the area and specifically the mines. I saw an old sign while hiking around that mentioned Borax ore.....
    I felt safe entering these mines due to the high foot traffic that was clearly available for me to see as well as the mine being open without any blockage or signs keeping the public from entering.

    Well I half way expected to see a shadow person each time you changed the flashlight..
    Those doll were a bit creepy too!!! Whoever put them there has a wicked sense of humor.
    Loved the slot canyon.. I kept imagining that there would be something fantastical around each turn. That’s what always draws me,, That’s why we came out of the caves, why we climbed the hill, climbed the mountains, crossed the ocean and went to space.. All to satisfy the curious human nature.
    Man keep it up!!!
    As always,
    Watching from Oklahoma,
    Thank God you got out of the mine.
    Jeffrey.😅

      Yeah I was NOT a fan of the creepy dolls left in there. Got me a little scared 😳
      I’ve got the urge to explore, just like you said!

    You are one brave soul. I was afraid for you not knowing what you were walking into. Thank goodness for made it out safely.

    20-ish mins into the video made me so anxious i had to pop an urbanol and then realized, wait, you’re fine, otherwise you wouldn’t have uploaded the video. 😅 That was intense! but also very awesome! thanks for sharing!

    Haha, I was on my way to anniversary mines when I flipped my brand new pick up truck upside down with me in it. Totalled it. True story. I never went back. I'm glad you made it out safely.

    • @bgrace27
      @bgrace27  6 месяцев назад +3

      That is a sad story dude, your poor truck and poor you!
      I couldn’t imagine if that happened to my Van much less a brand new truck worth 8x more than Fred.
      If you ever get the chance, it’s worth going out and visiting them as you can see in the video. The video doesn’t do it justice to be honest though. It’s incredible

    • @Arcticfox7
      @Arcticfox7 6 месяцев назад +2

      @bgrace27 Absolutely i will go back someday. My insurance company was super cool about it and reimbursed me the cost of the truck and the down payment. And I wasn't hurt.

    I don't know if you've ever heard the theory that there used to be Giant silica trees like Devils Tower was really a tree. Those last rocks with the gray gravel on the ground really look like old growth wood to me. But really amazing video from the editing to the camera shots in the mine it was really entertaining😊

    • @bgrace27

    Hey Dude what an interesting mine exploration with awesome video of the geology of the area showing the power of water in cutting canyons. The rock formations are most interesting and so is the interior of the mine with excellent video coverage. Your right the mines is large but it would be nice to have a map of the levels of the mine. Thanks again Bronson for an excellent exploration of your adventures.🌠

    • @bgrace27
      @bgrace27  6 месяцев назад +1

    Wow, you went into that mine way underground. I'd say you're brave and smart to know when to leave. Maybe you should have a Satellite phone or device to bring help if you ever need it. Maybe take some water and a meal bar with you, better safe than sorry. You're living your dreams, that's awesome! You're a nice young man, Happy Trails.

    • @bgrace27
      @bgrace27  6 месяцев назад +1

      Is what I really need as well as all the things you mentioned is a good 02 censor so I don’t run into bad gas or air in those 😳
      You’re right though, I need some more safety precautions

    • @terrysnyder4098
      @terrysnyder4098 6 месяцев назад

      @bgrace27 Thanks for your reply. Hope I didn't come across bossy, when you get older , and have kids and grandkids you start acting more cautious because things happen. An O2 Censor is a great idea. Do you have a Patreon group yet? Have fun and live in the moment! 👍😊

    Howdy From California:
    With all the respect you deserve, may I say,
    You, Mr. B Grace have got some mighty B___S
    of Steel. Climbing wooden ladders, not knowing
    how long they've been there.
    I get goose bumps seeing anyone do what you
    did in this video. To be perfectly honest, "NOT ME"!!
    But of course, you were Born to Explore!!
    You found your calling when you decided to take
    up Exploring..
    Quite sure you're a Safety-Minded young man
    and not likely to try anything risky.
    Continue to Take Great Care of Yourself & Fred!
    Always stay Alert & Safe & Enthused!!
    👍👍🤍🙏

      It was very scary, I’ll be honest. Especially when I was deep inside the cave and alone. I got the shivers and headed out but none the less, I had a great time and I’m glad you enjoyed!

    From South Africa clock-in numer 04 hi 👋 😊 It's SATURDAY MORNING !!! 😅 At KFC having disgusting chips and half decent brekkie wrap with coffee for brekkie, then it's hardware, porn shop, then back home to put up shelving in my workshop....
    OK would you ever overnight in that mine ?..... now that would be a great video....😮😮 If not why ? ... What an adventure that would be !!!

    • @bgrace27
      @bgrace27  6 месяцев назад

      I certainly was considering staying in some other mines overnight but decided against it. Honestly it freaks me out - mostly my imagination but at the same time I could see myself doing it in the future 😏
      Also, I didn’t know they had KFC in South Africa, so cool!

    Is that a radiation mine

    • @bgrace27
      @bgrace27  6 месяцев назад

      No I believe it’s a Borax mine. There’s no such thing as a “radiation” mine but something like Uranium wouldn’t be far off
