This video is for educational purposes and a cautionary tale. Gilman, is dangerous. Stay out. I talk about a few of my experiences as well as share some mining history. I sorted through all reported mining deaths to compile a list of the 20 souls that perished in Gilman, Eagle mine and the surrounding mines in the immediate area.
This gorgeous landscape serves as the most amazing back drop. I have enough footage and facts for perhaps 4 more videos. There is far too much information to put it all in one video.
Be safe if you do venture out into towns like this. A small injury can quickly lead to more serious injuries in such isolated conditions.
Never go alone. Seriously.
I would like to take a minute to recognize the work of the Environmental Protection Agency present and past for their clean up efforts as well as the Eagle County Sherriff Office for going after the vandals that frequent the town. You're doing God's work.
Everything in my videos for the time being is paid for by myself and family. There are zero sponsors or influences on my opinion of any of the subject matter.
Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and click the bell so you are notified when following episodes are released. I also have other towns in the works.
