  • In this video I drive the AutoEdits Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JKU all the way to the deepest part of the Reward Mine located near Lone Pine CA. I'll take you with me for this easy to access adventure and maybe give you some inspiration to check it out for yourself.
    Please be cautious entering ANY mine and unlike me in this video... you should wear a hard hat and going alone isn't the smartest plan...lol
    Here's a link to the ‪@onXOffroad‬ location of the Reward Mine...

    Howdy! Thanks for coming along for the drive... let me know what you think!

      I see California uses similar rock and soil stabilisation techniques as Hawai'i. The cave entrance reminds me that today, a part of a highway on O'ahu is closed while the DOT works on the rock and soil stabilisation system on the extreme southeast of the island.
      This must be VERY critical for you folks in California. We've had a couple of very minor earthquakes (more like seaquakes...) this week, so I imagine our authorities are exercising caution just as California does.
      I really enjoyed "your drive!" Aloha!

    I kept waiting for a dead end where you had to back up a hundred yards. Very interesting mine, we rode through Fantastic caverns in Springfield Missouri. It was amazing to see the stalagmites and how dark it really is inside. Great video.

    Awesome video Jason! I need to go check out that mine. Back in the mid 80's, I was stationed overseas in Turkey with the USAF. I was able to have my Ramcharger shipped over and had the opportunity to drive inside a couple of old ancient castles in the Tarsis Mtns.
