Smuggler Mine tour - Aspen

The 2 Silver Bros. Smuggler Mine Tour Aspen Colorado. Real Life Minecraft!
The 2 Silver Bros. Take a Tour of Smuggler Mine in Aspen, Colorado. The Tour Guide Jay Was an Amazing Guy! He Gave the Boys a Ride on One of the Flatbed Mine Carts, and Let Them Hammer Away on Some of The Ore, and Even Let Them Take Away A Few Pieces They Hammered Out. This Tour is Highly Recommended it Was Super Fun and Interesting Learning All The History of The Mine and The Area. Jay Gave us a Day to Remember! Thanks Again!
Here is a Little History of The Smuggler Mine From Wikipedia. The Smuggler Mine is located on the slopes of Smuggler Mountain, on the north edge of Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is the oldest operating silver mine in the Aspen mining district, and one of the few still operating from Aspen's early boom years. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The largest silver nugget ever mined, weighing 1840 lbs (834.6 kg) came from Smuggler. At its peak the mine was responsible for nearly one-fifth of the world's total silver output.[2] Its extensive tunnel system reaches more than a thousand feet (300 m) below the entrance, extending under the city of Aspen, although most of the lower tunnels are presently flooded.Smuggler was one of the few mines in the Aspen area to reopen after the 1893 repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act. It continued producing ore until 1918, and was reopened in the 1970s. In 1984 it was designated a Superfund site after tests found high levels of lead and cadmium in the soil. It took the Environmental Protection Agency 12 years to clean up the site. While it is estimated that nearly a million pounds (400,000 kg) of recoverable ore remain in the mine, it is used as much for tours today as mining.

Mt Evans Colorado, Annual Gold Aspen Drive
Today was the 19th year in a row that I have driven this amazing route at the base of Mt. Evans, Colorado, to enjoy the changing colors of the aspen trees. I'm listening to a recording of David Foster's Symphony Sessions, which you can hear on my car stereo. You may want to turn up the volume to get a better feel for how perfect the music is for this drive. I am so fortunate to live in such a beautiful state!
