A few weeks ago, while hiking around Cerro Gordo, I noticed a small crack in the ground. It looked like another short prospect - until I started digging. That opening led to six separate trips underground, hundreds of feet of rope, some of the most dangerous ground I’ve ever crossed, and an enormous section of the mine that may have been sealed for nearly a century. Inside, I found old carbide lamps, dynamite boxes, ore sacks, newspapers dating from 1897 and 1926, a miner’s hat, blasting caps, and silver still visible in the walls. More importantly, I finally reached the Union Chimney, one of the two great ore bodies that made Cerro Gordo California’s largest silver mine. After six years of exploring this mountain, this may be my favorite discovery yet. Thank you for watching and for continuing to follow this strange adventure. There is always more out there to explore! - I have set up a Patreon for those interested in supporting the town!
