not much of a wheeling run planed but im headed out there saturday late afternoon to explore the bismark mine and silver bow. then im spending the night in the back of the runner. i figured id post up and see if anyone was interested. ive been in both but the lady friend hasnt so im trying to get her up to speed so we can go to death valley soon to play chutes and ladders in the big mines. if anyone wants to go we can show you the oregon mine too and you would have a very good start to seeing the best of the calico mines. multiple flashlights, gloves, and reasonable physical condition/mobility are required.
bismark- difficult entry/exit fairly big for calico. interesting shoring and cribbing
silver bow- shaft sunk at 45 degree angle with horizontal off chutes. darth maul lives at the bottom :)
oregon- easy to see. has geocache in it. very large rooms and different levels. one of the larger ones in calico thats still accessible
p.s these are safe to go in so long as your not an idiot and/or drunk :) there are holes that you would not want to fall in and places to twist an ankle. :gay:
