Exploring An Abandoned Secret Mining Camp - Nevada

Out in the endless hills of abandoned mine shafts, shacks and bygone relics of Nevada, we were taken somewhere incredible. A well-preserved mining camp, with a complete home, a shed full of bunks and old newspapers, out-houses, a tourist mine entrance as well as a few actual mines and workshop.
The sheer amount of items left behind on the property meant this was a decent size operation, and they put in a lot of time and effort into this place.
The fact that it is still standing and items haven’t been destroyed is a testament to how far out this place is, and very few people know about it.
These places need to be preserved and are a great learning experience. It is an opportunity to see how people in the past made everyday items into incredibly innovative tools, making life a little more comfortable in the arid desert.
Due to continuous vandalism, we are not giving out the name or location of this homestead.

@19:58 its a moonshine still and all that clear liquid in the thousand island dressing plastic containers would be moonshine probably as good or better than the day it was made, kept in a cool dark environment like that hello from Australia

I think those bottle caps just give a small visual of all the countless man hours grimly chiseling away at that hard rock. And I feel certain they don’t actually represent the real amount of sodas chugged down up there. Most probably rusted away out in the desert or thrown in trash. Billions upon billions upon billions of hours of labor has gone on before us on this planet. So easy to shrug that off and forget it. Hope we aren’t the generation to lose this great experiment in a republic . Anyway very fascinating places! That one cabin with the fire place I just couldn’t help but to imagine people sitting there warming themselves up and telling stories . No cell phone distractions. I do think one of those little shacks looked like it might have been an old phone booth with dry rotting phone books hanging on the wall . Love you guys. Were all watching and riding along with you.

Camped here Sunday on our way across the state to run the Rubicon trail. Pretty sure we picked up the bolt that is still stuck in our tire here. Made it to the trail, spent two days wheeling and now we are half way home and that bolt is still there. Every tire shop we’ve tried has been too busy and it’s not leaking so we keep moving on. Fantastic site to visit. So much history. My grandkids discovered 9 or 10 mines/prospects.

I do so in joy taking pictures of these old places I really like seeing how they did there construction for housing and sheds and other structures that's where my interest is old wood and metal

[artmerrill]

Amazing place! We call it HeeBee JeeBee's because our friend who first told us about it said it gave him those. It has been found and ravaged since our first visit.

Kind of reminds me of the old Helter skelter campsite as far as the house and the first mine you went into.

[mineadventures]
