Ramp Exit / Jeeping In Mines

[Java]

From the description on youtube:
My friends, Hai, Dave, Nick and I went to explore some mines on the Gold Rush Trail, BC. There are 3 different levels. Hai's jeep on 39s with roof top tent made it through the mine. The lower level is flooded and the middle level is drivable. Driving through the mine you enter at the 900 level, and take the ramp up and exit the 1000 level. We couldn't reach the entrance of the top level because of the snow line. It took us a while to find the entrance. After we got in, we took the down ramps and ended up with another flooded area. After 20 minutes of driving, we decided to come out from the entrance we came in. Dave was driving the last jeep. He didn't come out. When he came out after 5 minutes, he told us he found the up ramp which also indicates ramp exit. We decided to go back and sure enough ramp exit took us to the other side of the mountain. The area we came out was only enough to park 3 jeeps. We decided to leave 1 jeep in the mine parked in a pocket area. We turned 3 jeeps around. Then we brought the 4th one to turn around after we took other 3 in. By far it was my best wheeling experience.

Wow, that would be a whole new style of wheeling I never even thought of.

The description text is worth the read. It seems there might be enough natural ventilation to keep dangerous gasses to a minimum??

Wow! I don't know what to think! Could be a blast, could scare the hell outta me.

[Hypoid]

WOW! I hope the kids in Colorado don't try this.

Wow, that looked really cool and like a bad idea all at the same time.

I will have to check this place out after I move back to the PNW. I am assume by BC you British Columbia and this is the place in question.

It's definitely a Jeep video. They stop for gas at 40 seconds in and at 1:30. :)

That is awesome! I would love to do that!

Plus ample use of POV camera and unnecessary spotting. I mean, who has trouble fitting through a 10 foot wide mine opening without spotting?

Sign me up though, that looks like good clean fun to me. One of my favorite Colorado attractions is the Georgetown Railroad and being able to go all the way back into the mine halfway up it. Doing that, but with a an offroader would be pretty cool for sure.

:lmao: "Sweet Caroline" cover....That looks like a total blast, then I start thinking cave in. I think I would rather run it on my atv, just a little faster in and out.
Thanks Paul!
