    Those ghost towns are very interesting, specially the history of them. Looks like Wyoming has a lot of cool sights. That mine was exceptionally awesome to see, I don't even know if many exists except in West Virginia, seeing Faith leaning over to see down into it was was scary, glad that small tree she was holding held up fine. Have you all ever been to Jackson Hole Wyoming? My brother went there few years back and said it was gorgeous with even an old barn that suppose to be well known or something. Spaw Gulch looks huge and very high, wondering if bout as high as dances with wolves location! Thank you all for another wonderful upload, enjoyed it alot!!!

    I remember watching a show on Discovery Channel many years ago where they were blocking off old mine shafts with a spray foam plug.
    Something a lot of people are unaware of, even if they go down in safely, the water that's down in these mine shafts are holding back toxic gas and if the water is disturbed it's deadly.

    • @whatsaroundthebend
      @whatsaroundthebend  2 місяці тому

      Sure a lot of people never even think about that. I must admit I didn't either. I understand them sealing them off but it would have been fun to explore if it could have been done safely.

      We have thought about that. UA-cam really doesn't push my channel very much. I have seen other channels where somebody just drives around in their car and films out their window. A lot of those channels will get a half a million views and they can make a lot of money. We don't even make $10 a video on average. I know there is an audience out there that would enjoy them, but UA-cam just doesn't show my videos enough. We might look into it.
