    We visited this mine on the 4th and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Upstream in San Domingo
    Wash was the amazingly enjoyable lunch sight at the China Dam. Thanks for your nice video

      I've heard about another China Dam. Been to the one near Lake Pleasant but didn't realize the other was in San Domingo! Thanks for watching Tony, and glad you were able to see the mine in person!

    Thanks for the tour! It makes you wonder how they could get all that concrete and materials up there in the early 1900’s. Very interesting.

    Scotty, one of the things we all wish was different is what the camera does to the hard sections of trail. You can have a nasty, challenging section of trail, but when it's put up on a video screen it looks likes a piece of cake. So, those of you who don't go off-road, take note: A lot of what is done is harder than it looks. BTW, good vid.

      You're right. And thanks for the feedback! That's where a 3rd person point of view makes all the difference, which is easier said than done sometimes. Thanks for watching this one.

    Thanks for the tour. A very cool mine. I stumbled on to this place accidently years ago. It was like finding gold.😁 I would have liked to have seen it when more was standing.

      Thanks, DesertDog! I remember seeing your video on it a while back. Definitely a neat place. I wonder how long ago the head frames collapsed / were ripped out.

    Thanks for another great video. I'll have to try this one soon, but think I'll take the easier approach.

      Highly encourage the easier route ... that hill was a little scary not gonna lie ...!!!!! Side by sides would tackle that hill I’m sure with ease ... not so much for the quads.

      Thanks for watching, Terry! Did you make it out there yet?

    I explored lot of these places back in the 1990's using topo maps from Maps plus store over in Indian School & I-17. I had a 4WD 4 runner all I had was an odometer I would reset on each leg after a turn. Thinking back if we had broke down we would have been in real trouble as in those days here in AZ hardly anyone drove on those trails. Most people who had 3 wheelers or dirt bikes just rode lot closer to Phoenix no reason to go way out there. Lucky for us few times we got stuck I used rocks and a shovel to get out. I never crossed really bad spots took any chances if it got really bad the trail we would back down or if it was only a few miles hike from there. I wished we took pictures lot of these buildings were still there back then today most of these places have been vandalized so many UTV's now in the deserts it's a shame. We went to the Oro Bella mine on the way to Crown King there were a few buildings still now there is nothing.

      It's definitely cool hearing about those older trips before it got really popular. Sounds like you had some fun adventures. Old photos are so few and far between, its kind of a shame. Would be really neat to see how these places looked even as recently as 20-30 years ago. Thanks for watching!
