white elephant mine

old slough or something


So many good mines around, we (jeff and i) had to find and explore at least 1 more. This one is called the white elephant mine, near fintry on west side road.


the flooded pit and tunnel


It was raining a bit, and the mine wasn't as cool as others we found, but the trip was still a raging success. The road was sometimes a mystery, but we kept heading for the dot an the gps and eventually we got there.


the "road"


the truck hanging out at the mine


No tunnels to explore, but lots of cool rocks and old foundations around. also lots of redneck shacks.


perfect specimen of the redneck shack. anyone need van parts?


some doods we saw on the way down



Glad to add this to my list of places i've been. now, on to the next one.
