Hi Crystal,

Thats great you have a meetup that likes to do this stuff... Down here in ABQ (albuquerque), if it doesnt involve booze, you get a pretty low turnout! I am a leader for meetup here doing rock climbs, canyoneering and other educational stuff.

Im a pretty serious caver and mine explorer. I was wanting to see if anyone is interested in doing a mission in CO. The mine I got a tip about in Sliverton has over 2000' vertical and MILES of tunnel workings. We went in, but there are cave-ins and the only way around is getting up levels. (sketchy ladders and old skip rails) I was pretty excited (cause there was tons of other stuff in there... engines, ore cars, workshops, compressors etc... I would feel better going back with other experienced people!

Sounds like you do pretty fun stuff... scares most people I know away!

I look forward to chatting more!

Bill

Welcome to Mojave Underground Bill!

I love Meetup, it is a great little tool and has been priceless so far. Some of us were up in Silverton in June after giving a presentation in Creede. There are several large mines up there that I would love to go explore. Perhaps we can collaborate and plan a trip for early next summer...

Welcome to the site Bill.

Would love to hear more about the mine in Silverton you've explored. If you wouldn't mind sharing the name with me I would love to see what information and maps I might have of it. (PM if your comfortable)

Welcome Bill!

That sounds like a really neat trip. It'd be a LONG haul from down here in Vegas, but it might be worth it. It would be neat to see a mine with a lot of remaining equipment in it. My mine explorations so far have been pretty empty.
