Good story and photos! Crazy to see all the equipment littered about. Seeing these places I always wonder about the process of getting those old mines built in the first place. Thanks for the report!

It was common place with the boom and bust of the mining West to salvage equipment and building materials from one site and move to another. Aurora, Nevada is a good example as it was almost completely striped. To find so much equipment still up in this basin points to how difficult this site is to reach. Thanks for the kind comments, takesiteasy! :)
