To start with mine "tunnels" run mostly flat but shafts are either vertical or steep. Calcite coming out of the walls is called "flowstone". If you are going into tunnels over 1500 ft. long then you better have an O2 meter with you. Rotting timbers consume oxygen.
I Family found it on my second try. And you were not kidding on how bad that road was washed out. Usually when people say a Road is washed out 90% of the time I can negotiate it with my off-road driving skills. This one is so washed out you need a hiking stick in pretty soon you’re gonna even need some rope.
You can’t pay me enough gold to go into caves
Awesome. I tell people about our mine trips and now I can show them! Thank you for documenting. Good seeing your faces.
I live near here maybe 25 minutes from where you’re at it’s been a long time since I’ve been out that way but I drove right by it and there was signs saying no trespassing you could not go near it so when the weather gets better I’m going to have to go out there and see what’s going on cuz I didn’t think you could step on that land at all or near the mine you better be safe though and take precautions from the way it looks bless you
In & Out burger is 20 minutes away from here
For some reason I’m having issues what is your email?
What is your background and connection to this area?
Probably 15 years ago I drove right up to the Benton mine.
I spent 5 hrs looking for that mine today, and did not fined it.
