Accident Mine

Sorry the pics are sideways.  Can't seem to fix them.
 Looking up at Accident Mine.  Going to be a hike!
 Old wood box lid.  Pretty cool.
 Made it up the the mines and the old ore shoot.
 Looking back down to where I parked
 Silver ore vein.  Finally found some!

 Tracks to the mine
 Here is where the cables from the old ore tram were landed.  They carved a loop through the rock to wrap the cables around.  Seems plenty strong!
 Another ore vein


 Old explosives box
 Looks inviting.
 Old winch for pulling ore cars up the incline in the mine.
 The incline the winch was for.
 Ladder going up to another level.  I didn't try it!
 Some old dates.  1927 and 1949 were the oldest I saw.

Small Mines near Goodsprings


Looking across the valley at some mines I has visited previously
 Made it to the ones I was looking for.  There is one way in the background I want to get to, but it looks like a real serious climb!


 Those boards should support the mountain.  No problem!

This one dropped down fairly soon, so not much to see.  Long hike for very little exploring, but a good time still.
