Is Someone Lost Or Dead in The Mine Tunnels Near Area 51?
- 6 years ago
While revisiting this abandoned mine near Area 51, I discovered an abandoned campsite with all the gear. I also found some abandoned climbing gear. Did someone get lost and/or die in this mine? If anyone has any info, please email me:

DO NOT ENTER ABANDONED MINES!
If you see an unfenced or vandalized mine, here are some things to remember:
1. DO NOT go exploring in the shaft! It sounds like fun to be on the inside of a mine, but it is very dangerous.
2. DO NOT throw rocks down the shaft or tamper with it in any way. Animals like owls, bats, and tortoises often make their homes in orphaned mines, and they should be left undisturbed.
3. Leave the area and tell your friends to stay away from the site. The less people around these unmarked mines, the fewer statistics there will be.
