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???

    Very Cool, how deep into the mine were you able to go?
