So cool to see all of these mines in the area I've hiked for years! Thank you so much for sharing all of the history and going the places that aren't so easy to find!

[@ghosttownsandminesofwashington]

Thank you. We appreciate that very much

[@jamzholm]

Great video! There are mines up near Winthrop and Twisp that I have explored. Very fun!

[@ghosttownsandminesofwashington]

Thank you. Yes, there are. We have been to some really great ones over there.

Isn't it amazing how the forest just swallows everything up in the Pacific Northwest. Great video! I'm sure you already know this since you have plenty of experience in old mines, but in the areas where there is breakdown from ceiling pay extra as this is where you can have problems. And by that I mean life threatening ones . My wife and I were exploring an old mine in Nevada about 20 years back win some breakdown from the ceiling let go. Be quiet in those sketchy areas. Merely your voice can send things down that have been waiting for years.

[@ghosttownsandminesofwashington]

Yes, it is. Thank you!!

I'm slightly claustrophobic. I was getting anxiety watching you go through that mine, praying it wouldn't collapse. Ahhh! Loved the artifacts from the old cabin!

Great video. Getting across that stream was a little hairy.

[@ghosttownsandminesofwashington]

Yeah, that stream was interesting for sure!!

[@OGRocker1]

Nice explore, thank you. Always enjoy your videos a little more. I grew up in Pearce County, your videos with all the lush vegetation, streams and such remind me of those days long ago. Greetings from southwestern Oregon and the Gold Hill mining district. ⛏⚒⛏

We appreciate your comments and watching. Glad to bring you some memories. Thank you!!

Copper is so cheap now it’s probably not worth mining unless it is mega-scale.

[@ghosttownsandminesofwashington]

Very true and lode mines just are not cost effective.
