    Where is this at? I noticed they put a cage just like that at a spot I went to in Alta Dena California. It’s called the Don mine trail. I’d like to see how close they are if you can give the location please

    Attractive nuisance? That translates into, if it wasen’t for people this would be a neat job! If you dont like it stop Nationalizing all this land in America…

    I’m sad to see the no-fun service sealed the adit. Nothing a band-saw can’t get through. When they seal it with foam, it is a pain in the ass to get through and emits poison gas when burned so keep that in mind if ever removing it. 🙂

    Thanks for the info. I just bought mining equipment about two months ago. I’ve been in one mine/cave so far. I’ll be careful.

    Holy shit dude. This video was insane. Im a geology masters student at cal poly and Im beyond fascinated in the Santa Ana’s. Is there a way I can reach out to you for questions regarding access to mines, and localities? Great video!
