After running out of the time during the last trip, we returned to the great Lexington Mine to continue our exploration. This became one of my favorite mines after finding it to be virtually untouched by other explorers. In order to get deeper into this mine, we had to first descend a death-trap winze with rubble balancing precariously on the edge above the 100 ft. deep drop. This stunt proved to be worth the risk as it opened up a world of possibilities for us to explore. The levels we found had not been visited in decades, if not a century. No footsteps, no modern trash or any other signs of recent activity. This is what we like. I hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed exploring this very special site.
