Chris, have you explored AZ?

[Chris]

Technically called a cavern.... but yeah... essentially a cave.

Yep, I checked it out right after you posted.

Gotta be expensive to stay there I would guess.

Oh yes, I'm very fascinated by the mines, so this is something I really want to do, scope out as many as I safely can!

I would love that, so would my oldest daughter.

We went in the lava tubes in Bend, Oregon that go down 2 miles into the ground. That was so much fun. You have to bring flashlights, and it gets COLD as hell down there, but we loved it.

Bit of a drive... but joshua tree has tons of mines... brooklyn mine being the most well known.

Btw.. welcome to the southwest.

I’ll have to put that on the list as well.

I used to live in Arizona from 2008-2012. Unfortunately back then I was younger and only interested in chasing if women. Now that I am older and into exploring like this, I see that I missed out on so much!

Bruh, if you ever wanna check out some mines in your area, I am well versed I have no one to go with anymore.

You and your fam should check out the lava tunnels in flagstaff. They’re a lot of fun. So is Oatman like someone suggested above. I was there last year scoping out some mines.

I'll have to check this place out as well!



Barrett Jackson is fun to check out, even though I can't afford anything there

Stopped there last year on our way Santa Fe for Christmas, cool town and the donkeys were a blast.

Do they still do the gunfight act in Old Tuscon.

I've heard they do have the gun fight! Another thing I need to check out.

I’ve spent some time outside of your neck of the woods too Atolia, Johannesburg, Mt. Baden-Powell. Most of this stuff was around Victorville and San Bernardino.

This was a 300’ slope

There were pits strewn all over the desert.

This was the Big Horn Mine. A popular spot, but one I wanted to see while I was in the area.

This is the entrance to the mine. An old mill at the end of a two mile hike.

Old Tuscon was a pretty cool movie location, visited there and the Desert Museum nearby. Kids will like all the creatures at the museum.

When the borders open again and I make it over there I'd love to check out more of AZ....had a family friend in Snowflake..stayed on his ranch about 20 years ago...but want to check out Sedona, corkscrew canyon etc.
