Here's a short test video made from stills I took at the Red White and Blue Mine last weekend. I took a prospector friend up there to help me clean all the trash out of the inside, and there was lots.

The full version with a history of the mine should come out later this year.

I stopped by the mine too earlier today. It was really nice inside. The water felt great!

I think I know where it is. Worth visiting? Cave pearls?

Fun mine video. Wow, that was a lot of trash you guys cleaned out. Gutsy to go into some of these mines.

It's definitely worth visiting, and is probably one of my favorites I've been to in the area, although the Kelsey mine was pretty incredible too. It wasn't too hard to figure out where it was by watching a few videos on Youtube and looking at the other side of the canyon, but I don't really want to post GPS coordinates. There were quite a few nettles right at the entrance, which I cut down, but could have grown back to some extent given how much water is there just so you're aware.

Neat! I'll put it on the "do-that-sometime-in-the-uncertain-future-if-Im-in-the-area" list.
