Such a gorgeous looking mine, no idea of the experties that goes into crafting such gorgeousness. Beautiful
another GREAT mine done , thanks GLY and LAURA ..
I would want to power up the mine and turn all the lights on soooooo bad .!,!!?, Great job gly
Fabulous mine, Gly! Thanks for the adventure… so fun. And high five, Laura! Respect!
Great job again you two.๐
lettttssss gooooo
Bloody Brilliant
Good job team.
Must have been woried about black heal marks on the tembers and ladders lol
@2.33 They missed a beautiful possible vein on the right behind the boarding. I wonder what it looked like in real life.
that note added a nice touch, glad you saw it!
Wait, the box with the shell writing… Is a 37mm gun box? The M1 37mm was a well made mobile anti-tank gun made by Bofors during WW2. Surely repurposed for use down the mine (the box not the gun lol). Great video again mate.
Gly and Laura, great episode! Gly one question, I would guess it's the case, but when these mines were up and running, was it extremely loud working in them?
Gly ,,, the colors from the 70s ,,
You either wore them
Or saw them๐
๐จ๐ฆ @35:20 – 35:30. There's a tiny flash of light. Then it appears goes towards Laura then disappears just before her leg. I saw bugs and all during the talk but I had to re watch that part 6x to figure out what it was. Orbs. ๐ ๐ Great vid gang.
At 19:00 there's your proof that work was done here at least into the 70s. MESA (Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration) was MSHA's predecessor and existed from 1973 to 1977 or 1978. I have a 1977 underground haul truck with a MESA approval plate.
Underground carpentry like that is largely a lost art in the US. You're getting me excited – our conventional rail mine (currently flooded to just below the 50 level) may be pumped out and resume operation later this year. Nearly all of its infrastructure is timber, it will be great to see it again! In the meantime, we're pushing to get our rubber-tire decline mine into production.
Just an amazing amount of hard labor that goes into underground mining, and this mine really shows it, with all the materials that go into the mine in order to get the valuable pay dirt back out! Always enjoy what you discover Gly. Be safe and keep up the great work!!!
When you were talking about going up those ladders and having to take breaks, I know what you mean, that is why I chose my youtube name. Be safe, and I'm looking forward to all the rope work!
It's your camera work that sends you over the top of all others in your field. Lucky Us.
The box held 37 mm anti-tank gun shells, the gun was our main anti-tank weapon at the start of WWII, it was also the main gun of the M8 Grayhound armored car.
Great Video, but excuse me, less Hamburgers and more Sports will help a lot ๐
I really love that you don't publicize the location of every one of these to help preserve them. Although I love seeing how the hills look so I can see what the miners saw that lead them there, I would rather them not end up trashed by people with no respect for the history and the people who dug these mines.
Everyone LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and HIT THE BELL, but don't forget to SHARE so new eyes see this to help Gly out.
Forgot to mention! I was surprised by all the DYNOMITE in that cart!! Be very careful!, I see no virtue in the first hand accout in the instant development of an open pit mine… FROM THE BOTTOM! ๐๐๐
25:42 The words straddle a green vertical stripe (from a packing strap?):

(The M3 may refer to the variant mounted on a M3 Halftrack vehicle.)

As always Gly and Laura, another excellent adventure, thank you for the explore share, … Till the next. Take care and stay safe. โโโ๐ฉJekyll the Hyde.
Hey you. Iโm ganna challenge you to explore bells cavern. You might have to lose 100 pounds though, because I had to drag my backpack with my foot and a leash through some of the holes that opens up into a huge open area, and just followed by over 26 other holes that lead you into the interns of a cavern inside of the mountain. Here in Colorado this is a normal open cave. it used to be a rock mine look into it you might be interested. I have actually camped inside this cavern overnight. You and Laura might really like it.
When you are already wheezing.. brother…. bad air will take you quicker..
Anyone ever play Doom? Glys chest cam in motion wants a rifle. Not with lady Laura out front.
Great episode, Gly and Laura! The woodwork was fabulous in this mine. What is the most commonly used timber in the majority of mines, in your experience?
Fibber McGee and Molly were sponsored by Johnson and Johnson Glo-coat
You took us to the lowest level. Some dead things around, but a nice, clean open adet so far. Wow! thats alot of wood timbering….very solid. At 23:02, what beautiful mineral colors. Thats alot of still intact glass light bulbs, unusual. Those miners sure put in alot of sweat & strength getting all those timbers in place. Sure looks solid. Boy, mining was a hard job and this was in the 50's!! As many ladders that you have climbed in four yrs., and always with one hand on rungs and one hand carrying your kimbel camera. You are something!! GO GET UM! and thanks for all that you have shared with us.
Great place that's so neat the things they left behind its amazing how they got that stuff in there
just went back and watched 72 again, omg id forgotten how crazy you can be , i think this was when Mr M thought to himself…what the hell have i got myself into …lol
"laura il get you to go ahead of me"….yep if anything falls down you,ll get it first….lol, Its a joke folks…..always great videos Gly…some of those timbers where huge, some very big trees were sacrified to keep these miners safe…
Nine lives? Man, you need 99 ๐ Liked the Outro very much. It's good to remind us of how awkward it is to haul that big camera around. It's bad enough on those ladders without doing it one-handed, too ๐ฎLaura, since you're the "scale model" how tall are you if you don't mind my asking? It's gotta be hard to learn to interact with a camera like it was a person. You did a great job today ๐
Gly, playlists look good. Maybe do another one covering Bob' sagas, drones and any other gear related stuff. Speaking of which, I don't think you've ever done a "gear list" video? Climbing equipment, cameras, drones, water and supplies, monitors, etc. Oh and how you came up with that vest setup you wear. There's been bits and pieces but it would be cool to have it all covered in one place ๐ Great vid again and stay safe you two!
Also, this showed up in my feed today. Somebody needs to talk to this kid. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cVdhxWbIp8c
Those light bulbs that were dangling there I'd be curious do they still light up
You need to cut back on a double cheeseburger with extra bacon
Hello Gly and Laura, Without revealing too much, can you give some commentary on the forest/timber type in the area? Is there any larger Ponderosa pine? Is it all cut over or smaller trees? I'm trying to get some idea about the logistics of sourcing all that timber. There seemed to be a distinct lack of any pole material. It was virtually all sawn. As I commented last week, I'm guessing it was sawn at a small mill, possibly on site from larger diameter logs.
The rails of that size are joined with splice bars. The two bolt bars are something I haven't seen before, dave
Um Gly, what is a mine cat? โค
Don't forget the ; " Gly's shorts" on the way…those mining camps and out building explores are awesome!
Koodos to Laura as well !! ๐
