For this mine exploration we are in the Mojave National Preserve at the Providence Mine area.
We first came across a Chilean Mill that was near a vertical shaft. We also checked out an old windmill that was standing over a water well. After looking over that area we hiked a couple miles along an old mining road, that winds through a beautiful canyon, and ends at a remote mine. The portal to the mine was eroded shut, so we dug it out enough to squeeze through and gain access to the underground workings. Once inside we were pleasantly surprised by the interesting timbering, stopes and multiple winze shafts with skip ladders.
After checking out the underground workings we hiked back to a cool automobile bone yard where there are several old cars and also ruins of two old miners cabins.
We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed spending our day in this area.
