Mojave Underground's biggest trip of the year so far, the Green River Expedition is set to be a blast. Date set is March 28th, 29th, and 30th.
We begin our journey heading south to a privatly owned and beautiful hot spring, Meadow Hot Springs. The water is deep, crystal clear, and an amazing 90F. We'll be spending a couple hours here.
From here, we depart to Green River. Along the way, there are a few abandoned mining communities/ghost towns that we will be checking out.
Once in Green River, we'll be stopping for lunch. Afterwards, we will be heading to the Utah Launch Complex, an abandoned military missile testing facility classified by Popular Mechanics as "The new Area 51".
Our last stop for the day is the soda pop geyser known as Crystal Geyser. Mild sulfufic acid mixes with calcium carbonate and creates carbon dioxide, giving the water its strong fizzyness. We will be camping here for the night along side the river.
Saturday Morning, we depart out to Minersville, where the Lincoln mine, along with many others, are located. We'll explore here for a few hours before heading back up north to the ghost town of Frisco. There are some amazing mines and structures here. We'll camp the night at Frisco, and depart around 8am to head back home. We expect to be returning around 11am Sunday morning, so everybody who is interested can hit up 1:00 church. We are departing from the Orem Maceys, 800N State St. @ SE Corner of parking lot at 9:00 am.
Event Difficulty: 5
Old Mine Exploration; Swimming; Hiking; Cold Weather Camping
