Stanley Mine
I've been asked not to disclose this mine's name or location. This silver mine, high in the mountains of Central Idaho, was a really fun one to explore. It’s a very wet mine, but we found a few ore cars and a flooded shaft station
Keystone Signpost Petroglyphs
This lone petroglyph boulder is way out in a wash deep into the Joshua Tree wilderness. We suspect it served as a signpost for Indians to find other sites which aren’t too far away.
The 'key' symbols are a very interesting element in this panel.
Lost White Log Cabin
In June 2018, we visited a remote log cabin high in the mountains. The cabin is built from amazingly long logs, but most surrounding trees aren’t that tall. So, those logs must have come from somewhere else, but where?
Ancient Tomales Wall
Out on Tomales Point, a peninsula that juts out into the Pacific Ocean in Point Reyes, is an ancient Native American rock alignment. The Coastal Miwok tribe, whose ancestors are believed to have built it, call it the “Spirit Jumping Off Rocks.”

Blackwater Mine
In the late summer of 2018, we made a visit to a remote mine in Idaho. The ruined inclined tramway was my main interest, but the mine is more extensive than it looks. I've been asked not to disclose this mine's name or location.
U2 Joshua Tree
I found what I was looking for... The famous U2 Joshua Tree. It fell over many years ago and now is a shrine to the band and the album. It is surprisingly easy to reach and not in Joshua Tree National Park.

Green Scorpion Mine
This is a small prospect I’ve wanted to check out for over a decade. I finally decided to track it down. I didn’t have an exact location, but I had a good idea of where it was. So I went out scouting the hills.
