Exploring Azurite (Boss) Mine Nevada

Old ore bin

 Had some interesting 100+ year old bridges.  Seemed like a good idea to make use of them.

Looking up from the bridge you see these old logs holding back rocks from dropping on you.

More bridges to try out.  Was only 50 or 60 feet down!

 Ore shoot from higher level

Partial back-fill of the mine in this area

Figured the bridges held so lets try a century old ladder!

 Didn't try these ladders.  Went down 3 levels that we could see.

Another "bridge"

 Coming up a ladder from a lower level.  Watch out for that hole in front of you!

 View from the mine

Storage room.  Maybe for explosives???
