Hi all, I've loved your site and videos, which I stumbled upon while doing research on Jacob City, which I visited for a few days about five years ago.
Ghost towns are my passion, I have to visit at least two a year. Some become a labor of love, as with what happened when I visited the coal mining town of Sego, Utah. I met with some locals, interviewed residents of the town, and wound up with a project that I am still working on, researching the history of the mining activity in the area.
As a historian of sorts, I applaud your efforts to explore, document and preserve historic mines and mining facilities- it is hard to find a group with as much zeal and as many accomplishments as yours that is interested in actually going out and restoring, documenting, preserving, etc.
The Ophir Hill mine is on my wish list of places to visit. I've seen plenty of shafts and tunnels (adits) from the surface, but never from inside.
