This was a return trip to find the real mine on the way to LDM jr. After an early exit from the trail I noticed an opening in the rocks. This opening was a small cave that went back about 30 feet but was fairly small. About 300 feet farther up the wash there was some loose dirt. I was standing on tailings! The mine was around the brush and up the hill about 30 feet. I would guess this was another on of George Miller's mines but not sure. It is amazing how much work went into some of these holes. After some exploration I climbed up to the trail and hiked out. The temps seemed fine finishing just past 11a.
