Interesting Greeting At The Portal Of This Nevada Mine

We drove the Jeep up from Walker Lake, Nevada, on a winding road that climbed 2500 feet above the lake, high into the mountains toward Mount Grant and found a nice abandoned mine there. The road became too steep, and covered with loose gravel for the Jeep to climb, so we walked the last half mile to the mine. We didn't know anything about the mine and were very pleasantly surprised at what we found. When we arrived at the mine the portal was partially eroded shut so were dug it out enough to crawl in. What greeted us once inside the portal was something unexpected and a little unsettling. The 1100' long drift is in great shape and has track with natural cross ties cut from tree branches, which was fun to see. There is also a winze shaft and some other nice features and artifacts.
