Sweet documetary Mike! Thanks for getting these up. I just love the soundtracks! The tram house really is pretty cool to visit - hopefully there are a few more years left in it!

[Crystal]

Wow, that tram house is really falling apart. I hope I make it up there before it completely goes. Nice helmet Miah.

I just recently returned from a late season camping trip near the Little Saharah sand dunes in central Utah. I was told before the trip that there were a number of shafts in the area and after someone suggested dropping glow sticks I amped it up by suggesting we drop a marine flare, since many shafts are deep enough a glow stick will disappear before hitting the bottom. It was a quick trip to the bottom! There was one other mine we visited out of half a dozen that appear on the Google file, all with the cement collar and rebar closure, but time constraints prevented us from dropping flares into them to determine their depth and structure.

Whoa!! That was super neat!
My favorite part was the end with our sweet patch logo!!
Awesome!!
Great job.

[Jake]

Is the Buckhorn on Lion Hill SOUTH of Ophir? or closer to Jacob City?

[UnderUtah]

The Buckhorn is on the North / West sie of Ophir canyon, above and north of the Ophir Hill. Essentially on the other side of the ridge from the Hidden Treasure. Not much at all left standing over on Lion Hill...

Nobody I know of...what makes you ask about that?

[CaverStretch]

Somebody in the background in monitoring a repeater. You can hear the morris code that is sending out the call sign. Just curious. Lots of us use Ham Radios. Great way to comminicate.
