Exploring Ochoco Mining Ruins: Independent and Mother Lode Mines, Oregon

In this video we explore and learn about the Cinnabar mines of Ochoco National Forest. The two mines we visit are Independent Mine and Mother Lode Mine. Cinnabar is a very toxic rock that was mined for it's mercury. There is a lot of history in equipment like this and I am so glad it is there.
