    Honorine Mine

    I had the chance to see the Honorine Mine about two weeks after Jeremy E fell to his death. I'd heard that the Sherriff's department told everyone in the news and the family that the mine was closed forever and posted No Tresspassing. When we got there the mine was still wide open and of course there were no signs or markers indicating private property. Now it did look like they made an attempt to close the mine, just not much of one. It is sad that he died, and I don't wish that on anyone or their family. They had his name spray painted on the wall with the date of his death, and the marker that we saw at the the time I thought ment mine shaft. It turns out that the X with a cirlce around it was Jeremy's tag for mine exploring.

    The footage is old and was stored on a VHS tape. I didn't realize that all my tapes were slowly going by the way side. I made an attempt to capture all my VHS tapes, but the it was almost too late. But at least I have some what of a backup. Enjoy.

    Thanks Robert! That was great!

    A few of those clips look familiar. I think I may have seen a video on youtube with a few of them sliced into a cool mining video with a bunch of other mine adventures. I'm sure that video was probably yours? Or maybe I'm high?

      Thanks for posting this one Rob. Just wondering if you would want to check with Mike about hosting it on his server instead of YouTube - just want to keep that footage copyrighted against potential media spin>>> "More SHOCKING footage, this time explorers were seen knocking rocks down the same shaft....Tonight only on ABC 4 Utah..."

          Hey it doesn't look too bad on YouTube. I would highly recommend that anyone with VHS tapes that they care about get them converted to a digital format of some sort ASAP. VHS will not last forever, in fact most VHS will be almost unwatchable after 20 years.

          Thanks for posting this video Rob!

              Eventually I am going to post everything on my site. But I can post videos on the server here. I have no problem with that. I have a bunch of videos that I want to put on the site. Many mines and caves.
