Found by Chance: A Hidden Adit Off a Steep Desert Road

While on my way to a different claim, I unexpectedly came across a steep, narrow road that revealed a lone adit nestled into the hillside. I carefully parked on the pile of waste rock, geared up, and took a closer look inside. In this point-of-view walkthrough, you'll hear the natural acoustics, see the ground support and ore marks up close, and get a sense of the geology that initially attracted miners to this site.

I do not share specific locations to protect these sites and ensure safety. Abandoned mines can be hazardous—there's a risk of poor air quality, collapses, and hidden shafts—so please refrain from entering these old workings. Enjoy the exploration through the camera and the history beneath your feet.
