Greetings my fellow explorers. We just recently finished a project for the land owners of the Ophir Hill Mine. I've had some people ask me how we are able to get permission to enter some of the mines that are located on private property in the Ophir mining district. Almost all of the trips into the Ophir Hill Mine involve some sort of service project. This is a project we've been working on for about the last year. The owner wanted us to remove an old pneumatic hoist from an area we call Crystals Incline. The hoist is being removed so it can be placed in a mining museum. This is just one of many projects we have done in the mine over many years. This was the most time consuming and difficult project we've encountered in the mine.

It's split into four trips with four different videos.
