2020 Nevada & Mojave ghost towns and mines

Mina Mine, NV 2020




Join me as I explore the historic buildings at the Mina Mine, a cinnabar (mercury) mine in central Nevada. There are several small shop buildings at the mine, and a large mill. I also found cabins dating back to the mine’s founding, and several other structures including an interesting bunkhouse.

Orizaba Mine, NV 2020







Join me as I explore some very picturesque ruins at Orizaba, NV and the Orizaba Mine. This was one of the most interesting sites I visited during my 2020 trip. The mine’s structures are over 110 years old, and include two stationary boilers, a head frame, hoist, and other artifacts. You’ll also see the cabins of the old mining camp.

Aragonite Mine, NV 2020




This is a small but very cool mine in western Nevada. It has an unusual headframe, and all of the hoist house machinery is intact.

Cole Slaw Mine, NV 2020




Come along as I explore a rarely-seen mining camp in a remote area of western Nevada. I’ve given this mine a fake name to protect it from vandalism.

The mining camp includes a mill, a well-built cabin, a garage and workshop, outhouses, and a water tank. There are also ruins and artifacts from an earlier period of the mine.

El Capitan Mine, NV 2020




In this video you’ll see an interesting, abandoned mine located on a steep slope, near the top of a stony ridge.

This mine has a couple unusual features, such as a long wooden gangway from the base of the hill up to the mine.

My 2020 trip to explore ghost towns and mining camps of Nevada and the Mojave desert was an incredible experience! I'm currently working on the many videos from the trip, featuring numerous historic sites as well as some stunning scenery and wildlife. Here's a little preview of what's to come.

Lone Mountain Mine, NV 2020




Join me as I visit an isolated, little-known zinc mine in central Nevada. You’ll see a well-preserved headframe, core samples from test drilling, and some nice scenery too.
