My first stop on my recent solo camping trip was at the remote Lucy Gray Mine in Nevada. This had been a uranium mine, and the mine was started in 1908. Unfortunately, the BLM has sealed off all the adits and vertical shaft with bat gates. The double-compartment shaft at the mine was 300 feet deep with levels branching off at the 100, 200, and 300-foot levels. Total workings comprised approximately 1200 feet. This video features footage of the sealed shaft and adits as well as the extensive mining camp.
