I've heard about it but I've never seen it with my own eyes. In this episode I find the Blue Birdcage Ballroom and it definitely doesn't disappoint.

Abandoned & Forgotten Places
Documenting abandoned mines like never before!
Let's take abandoned mine exploring to the next level!
With your support you can help make this the best abandoned mine exploring channel on KZfaq!
Shot entirely in 4K! ...so, turn up those video settings!
On this channel we go deep... REALLY DEEP into abandoned mines and tunnels all throughout the western United States. We researched some of the harder to find mines and hiked or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with cool artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver, and other minerals.
A&FP moves just a bit slower as compared to other mine exploring channels. Gly discusses why the miners chose these sites and he points out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men lose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day.
DANGERS? Oh yes, there’s allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders, and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock!
Gly takes abandoned mine exploring seriously with all the proper safety equipment, training, and experience necessary to do this activity as safe as possible but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun along the way. “Gly”, your host and his band of crazy characters “Old Bob” (Gly’s Jeep), “Quackers” (Gly’s duck) and “Bobbie” (Gly’s hula girl) are sure to brighten your day with their comments and silly antics. Heck, they may even give you a chuckle or two.
Just like Saturday morning cartoons before the internet was invented, Abandoned and Forgotten Places uploads each Saturday at 7:00AM PST. (that’s 10:00AM for you eastern folks) so don’t forget to click that subscribe button and bell icon to receive notifications of new episodes!
Please LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT! All these things help grow our channel and your financial support helps us find new locations and helps put fuel into “Old Bobs” tank. Old Bob, thanks you!
Ok, now for the ugly stuff...

Gly, I can't tell you how many times I have been up and down the river, how many days spent around there and never even knew! What a giant "ant hill" indeed! So much copper color that is left sure makes one wonder what it must have looked like while they were mining! That area around and on the river is so beautiful that it never gets old being there! Thank you once again for bringing us along with you on another great adventure!

Noting that the tops of trees & brushey areas were not distinct, but smudgey appearing during your drone re-con. Enjoyed seeing the surrounding, rugged area though. Apparently over the yrs. these hills were a "meeting place" for groups to "party"; lots of beer/soda cans. So cool, hills & hills of Basaltic rock and as you pointed out, lots of mineralization in those rocks. Such cool overlooks. Lucky you seeing all this but sharing it with us. As you walked the stoped out "ballroom" there were some great, Turcqoise colored rocks! I want one! At 36:49, large chunks of Chrysocolla....aaah. (hula girl has become some exhibitionist; still showing her "spring"....ha,ha. Thanks for the sights and the interesting explore.

Sorry Gly , I was getting a bit worried this morning when at 7 o’clock there was no notification of a new Saturday morning episode from ya , and then l get a notification about an hour later you posted this one . Just finished watching it & got a chuckle when you came up out of that one tight squeeze and began huffing & puffing & I saw that shadow of the giant Turkey Vulture sweeping over the ground in front of you & I told my wife “ That birds thinking he’s gonna be eating that guy for weeks after he croaks”😆😏😜. Glad to see that wasn’t the outcome …. Great finds today as Always, and thanks again for all you do & share😎👍

“Gly”: It’s the daylight savings time thing that caused that I think. I still scheduled it for 7:00am pacific. That was a really big bird, he was flying over my head all day. I’m certain he was looking down hoping for an easy meal but mine explorers are a bit gamey.

That was a really neat viewing of the stope. I also really enjoyed the drone work and how you blended some of it into your trek from one explore to the next. It kinda makes it a little more like being right there with you. Have fun and be careful. We haven’t seen the rattle worms come out around here yet but I’m sure we’re not far from that.

Gly, thanks for all you do. I was disappointed that you scurry in and out with some amazing veins of copper oar that were really stunning but we only see it in the periferal camera view. I remember that you said you are colorblind but you’re missing so much fabulous mineralization cuz you can’t see it maybe. I watch this great program to see the minerals but I got teased but no pay dirt. I’ve watched every episode since 2020, just to let you know I’m not a complainer, I’m a loyal viewer. Please if you can take a little more time with the brilliant colors. Tim
