For one children when you pan to first go explore/ trespass there looked to be fairly recent tire tracks... FAFO you`re lucky you didnt get caught or stumble into a massive grow operation like they have before or meth labs where theyll kill on site or worse some serial killers house of pain... think before you go exploring... think of all the possibilities that could go wrong you kids are still wet behind the ears and don't know the first thing about exploring abandoned places especially heavy operation places like that and in sneakers by the way wtf proper ppe duh... No cabon monoxide detectors or bird in a cage no masks gloves glasses boots ntn or hard hat you guys are geniuses... just give up that life b4 you or your friends get hurt killed or put in jail... Peace
Just stumbled across this video from reddit. I know a decent amount about the mine. I work for a company that is one of the leading competitors for the company that owns that mine (No, I'm not gonna say the company on here lol. I recognized a couple things in the video but I'm not saying what since I don't want to unintentionally rat you guys out). Here are a few additional details: - The control room (@3:15) is a crusher operator shack. It was mounted at a dump hopper that fed into a crusher, that then dumped the stone onto the belts. The switches and knobs controlled the belts and crusher. The joysticks controlled the "rock picker" (hydraulic hammer) that was used to break apart boulders that were too big to feed through the crusher. - The bags on the pallets (@4:00) were likely rock dust, or if this mine is close to their kiln operation, it could be castable (which is used on the lining of the kilns, but needs to be stored in low humidity). - The maintenance room (@5:40) is the parts supply room for the maintenance shop. The maintenance shop is the area right outside of that room. - The large tarps lining certain walls (@8:15) are not for blocking off access specifically. They are for directing airflow. They do that so fresh air and exhaust flow in the same direction throughout the mine. - The machine on wheels (@8:25) that you talked about moving exhaust is pretty close to what you said. It's a portable fan that's used to help push/pull air through the mine. That all I got, I think. I would recommend getting a gas detector for when you go underground. Be sure it detects CO and O2. Detecting CH4 and NO2 are good to have, but not required. Anyways, cool video, guys. I look forward to checking out the other vids on your channel. Keep up the good work. 👍
@exploretheabandoned Nice. You guys were already well and prepared then! Good to hear. I hope you guys get to explore some other mines. Thanks again for the great video 👍
Thanks for watching!! I think we got most of the cool stuff in the mine included in this video. There is a slim chance there might be a part two, we are going to go back at some point, and explore the parts we didn’t get to, and if we find anything super crazy then we will make a part two.
They did some remodeling but chiseled out a little area on the left of the gate if you still want to get in, there is also another entrance a bit further but it requires an angle grinder and is pretty sketchy.
Id say they had an over head crane that they used to load gian bags of rock dust. Not concrete just crushed limestone. Id say they also had a magnet that went over the transfer box on the belts. I cant believe they left all the switch controls. You were in the garage or motor barn. If you go back look at the roof to see if they had an overhead crane. The papers with peoples names was probably electricians list of equipment permisibility and maintenance. This is a beautiful mine
If you go to the intake where are use to come in. You will find a rope hanging with cones pointing towards outside. Any mines operating after 2007 should have this.
Probably not for this mine, I believe we showed most of the highlights. But there’s a ton of other mines that have a lot left behind and we can’t wait to show you! We’ll go back to this one and try to find anything else that stands out eventually also.
This is one of my favorite spots we call this one the “69 mine” It’s in the Kansas City area if anyone wants a tour and I have maps I can send you! Whoever made this video hit me up! I can give you a tour of mines in Kansas City way cooler than this one
You should never hike in without knowing why and, of course, permission, why did it close? Poisonous gasses? Crumbling? Safety first in caves and mines
It is obvious you guys have no idea how to ensure your own safety while exploring an abandoned underground mine. The company that left this so easily accsesible is also to blame. You also obviouslyknow you are trespassing. If you were to get seriously injured or killed, the rescue/recovery efforts would take a significant abount of time to get to you, thats assuming you could actually contact someone to get help. I am surprised TH-cam has allowed this video to remain on here.

Thank you for the information and checking out the channel! We always bring a gas detector into mines that reads oxygen, carbon monoxide, and methane.

Cool video, they are trespassing. Sometimes you have to do that when Urbexing, they are following the code.
Awesome video Ethan!
Thank you!!
There’s a mine in Lyons ,Ks that’s Abandoned as well. Called Beaver mine I think is the name.
Let me give you a tour of the mines let’s gooooo this is one of my spots!
day 2 of askingh you to give me a location
Great narration. Hope there's more video

What a great find!
We’re glad we were able to share this with you!
Where is this place?
Where is this?
Where is this
How did y'all come across this place?? I'd be super interested in exploring it
Where is this located at?

wher was this at?
There is a good chance there is motion detectors at the entrance now I would not recommend going there.
@@exploretheabandoned yeah but hypotheticly where?
Where is that??
Lafarge in sugar creek, Missouri?
This is the old LaFarge mine?
Used to go there as a kid. My dad worked there for 33 years until it was closed.
@@robertfrike1129 Where is this mine located?
No this is a different one.
@@joe5636 Sugar creek Mo.
I would probably get lost down there! Hope you left bread crumbs to find your way back out! :)
We are usually pretty good about finding are way around. We have used glow sticks before in mines to help navigate 🙂
If you go to the intake where are use to come in. You will find a rope hanging with cones pointing towards outside. Any mines operating after 2007 should have this.
I don’t know how often you guys explore places like this. But please make sure you have gas monitors of some sort.
Canary on back order lol
Look up abandoned and forgotten places how he has proper PPE for exploring Mines if youre going to be doing stuff like this...
Used to work there
Where is it?
What did they mine there, chalk ?
@@zGJungle Limestone
Please tell me there is going to be a part 2

Is it easy to get lost in this?
If your not paying attention you could easily get turned around fs
Got a lot of sticklers in this chat,
Is this in sugar creek
No this one isn’t
@@exploretheabandoned Is this in Bonner Springs?
What’s the loc I been to the hospital an the schools and seen ur TH-cam
This is one of my favorite spots we call this one the “69 mine”
It’s in the Kansas City area if anyone wants a tour and I have maps I can send you!
Whoever made this video hit me up! I can give you a tour of mines in Kansas City way cooler than this one
What’s the location/map
Are those "Kansas City area" mines open access or are they private with permission only?
@@davidsul7052
Nothing fun is legal my friend.
I'm in KC and there's one mine I know of that I love exploring! Can you share the location of the ones you know of?
can you send me the maps?
Watch out for the Balrog. Once awakened, they are hard to beat.
I hope not!! 😨
Is this the one by mlk blvrd?
No that’s a different one we’ll post a video of that one eventually too.
perfect mine for a puppet show
That was a fun game of hide and seek
Yes it was 😂

This is amusing af.. teenagers in a cave LOL
You People Need to Stay Out Of These Mines...I know that mine...I can't believe it's not locked up...Lawsuit waiting to happen
Wait to these people get in legal trouble and they documented it all !
5+ years and counting!

Called Trespassing
“Abandoned” wouldn’t call it trespassing
Mind yo business old man.
You must be a Super Fun BUZZKILL at parties.
Oxymoron!
Private Property We Miners have special training to work underground; You all get trapped or get hurt , Oh Well!!!
@@cameronhailey592 DA, someone owns that land, and they pay taxes on it. It’s trespass.
