  • In this video, we explore an abandoned copper mine in the Mojave Desert hidden behind a small sand dune field! Though a small mine, there are some indications that it may of been discovered during the great Lost Breyfogle Mine search.
    If you would like to help me bring more explorations and improve these videos, please think about contributing over at / deserttrails

    What was the camera you were using on the outdoor shots before entering the mines ? Seen kinda dark , high contrast..Just curious...loved all your videos

    The "part of a building" is remnants of an aerial tow target. When intact, (these type) look like a three winged dart. When I was a kid, they were all over. Sorry to say, I rather don't think it blew there just recently.

    let me make sure i get this straight...he coughs all the way through the first 17 mins...then goes into a mine with no back up or ropes or whatever...coughs the whole way with sh#t loads of poop...coughs...and then makes his way (all alone) to the the entrance.

    The object at ua-cam.com/video/yaK8oAsPFGk/v-deo.html is most likely a towed target that was pulled by an aircraft for others to practice shooting at.

      Think of the original miners or prospector who trekked that area in it’s heyday . I am pretty sure they weren’t too concerned either . Mr Desert trails here has been doing this type of thing for some time now , at least that I’m aware of , and doesn’t do anything too foolish that I have seen . In some of his past videos he’s at least commented that he tells someone at least the general area he’s off exploring in and his estimation on when he will be checking back in with them . If you don’t like his exploits feel free to not watch them . That’s the beauty of America , you have a choice. He’s doing something he likes to do & I for one do likewise sometimes. We risk takers maybe get a bit more enjoyment from life than those who don’t do likewise. Just saying ….😏👍. I enjoyed this one as usual.
