Great video. Last time I was in that first cave there was a big bat sleeping on the wall, right above where that mouse was. Its cool to now know what those mines were for! Thats a cool canyon!
Where in the Succor Creek area is this? We’re researching for a trip this summer and it looks different than other UA-cam succor creek hike videos I’ve been watching. Thank you.
Entering Succor Creek from the North (coming from Idaho) you will see a single lone (large tree) to your right before actually getting to the main park area. You can actually see it very clearly on the satellite view of Google Maps. There is a road here that goes off to the right and follows a creek bed off towards the canyon. The road is pretty rough and crosses the creek at least once. We needed 4 wheel drive. The road ends right in front of the canyon.
Also, are all the mine caves you explored on the video in that particular canyon, or did you go to other areas of Succor Creek for that? And again, thanks so much for your replies. It’s really helping to plan our adventures with our kids.
@@Dv_Jaeger They are all in that canyon. Enjoy exploring! It's a great place! If you haven't explored out the Leslie Gulch area, I highly recommend that as well. There are tons of side canyons to explore. There's a couple videos on our channel from out there as well. One other amazing canyon is Squaw Creek Canyon off Summer Camp road on the Idaho side. You have to hike up the creek, but it has some epic scenery!
It's all fun and games until you get hantavirus. A patient I helped treat in the ER a few years ago in Idaho got it cleaning a house with a mouse infestation. They lost fingers and a large section of bowel and were hospitalized for a few months. It's spread through breathing in dust with mice feces and urine, like the ground in those mine shafts
So the thundereggs are all around the state park area I was in that area awhile back could not find a thundereggs I will need to find some info about the right places to look. Thanks for sharing.
You should be more savvy of survival. I am sick and tired as a former combat USAF Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare Instructor, as to guiding city people about a terrain that can kill you and your family. The Owyhees are nothing to fool with. It not a cool stat park for city people.
Yes, they looked totally unprepared. No rain gear, no back pack with anything they might need. I'm willing to bet that cell phones don't have a signal there.
Looks like a blast
It's a fun place! I Could explore those canyons for days!
those are nitrate mines from the late 1800s i grew up about 5 miles from there
I totally feel #shouldertime

There is alot of rattlesnakes around there especially in mines use extra caution especially with children or pets .
Mullen is a wonderful plant
Agreed!
Unbelievably risky going into a mine, esp with kids! The area is also riddled with lava tubes.

The creek coming out of the canyon is called Sage Creek I believe.
Thank you. I looked up those coordinates and wondered if you continued along that road for a ways. It looked like it ended at a canyon area.

Are there any thundereggs in that area.
We didn't see any in this particular canyon, but further into Succor Creek we have found many. The largest we found was the size of a basketball.

it,s eastern oregon, there are liable to be rattlesnakes in the mouths of those caves and mines.
Old mine shafts and kids, what could possibly go wrong... /SMH
