Exploring Abandoned Mines in California's Piute Mountain Range
The Piute Mountains are part of the Sequoia National Forest in Kern County, Ca. They lie between the Kern River to the west and the Mojave Desert to the east. Large scale gold mining in the Piutes began in the late 1860's and early 1870's but faded out around the turn of the century. The great depression brought on another flury of activity and many old mines were reopened as low buget operations.
In this video, I show you four old gold mines and one dolomite mine that I found during a camping trip last July. At the mine sites I found two adits, a miner's cabin, and a stone arrastra. Although these mines are pretty small, they were still very enjoyable to explore. I hope you guys find them as interesting as I did.
