There’s definitely gold there. My brother and I walked through the tunnel 10 years ago and found gold on the ceiling just by shining a flashlight on it. Maybe someday we’ll find out how much gold the old man found.
Karina Mendoza
GPS coordinates to the sign/turnoff would be tremendously helpful…
I wanna go see that
Nancy Lee Schmidt
How cool! Sounds awesome!
Wonder if he’s related to my ex! Sounds like something his family would do!
Definitely worth a trip to see, take a flashlight though!
Went through the tunnel 35 years ago…there was a small building in front with pictures and artifacts there was a lady that would answer your questions along with a guest book you could sign.
“El Chapo’? maybe ?
Is that burro Schmidt tunnel
Yes
Great place to stop with your dirtbike out there .I’ve talk to the lady before she passed away
The Trona Railway runs near there and had a tunnel that closed due to a fire in the early 80s. Could be related.
Thomas W Steinwachs
El Chapo
Jessica Razo lets go here
NO THANK YOU IM NOT READY TO DIE YET
Terry Is this the one we went through?
It is! How cool.
Kimberly Ellis yes that’s the one we walked thru
Yes. Burro Schmidt tunnel.
Do the rails run the whole way through??
I don’t think so. I remember part of it being really low and narrow.
Oh i was gonna say like maybe I’ll build a mine cart and ride through it really slow lol
Ryan Ryry Escalante at one time but not now.
I wanna go explore, can we Wendi?
Gerry McCarney, remember that weekend we went off roading and dirt biking and found this?
I have been through it back in the 80s. Plan on taking our grandkids! Interesting
Don’t hit your head lol
This tunnel was.dug by hand by the husband of the lady nick Pavelka mentioned, she never could give a reason as to why he dug it tho
El Chapo remember that his wife is in Lancaster in also is getting ready when he came to United States it’s going to be ready by the time he arrives to escape
Lmfao!
And also they used to be Area 51 back in the days
Casey Payne is this the tunnel that you took Josh and I to?
Yup
I was just in this mine a few weeks ago!
How do you get there ??
Where’s that
It’s the burro Schmidt tunnel. My buddy drove. I’ll reply tomorrow with location. Need 4×4
Great story – what a Jackass (JUST KIDDING!)
Isn’t this the tunnel in Death Valley ? The tunnel was dug by William Burro Schmidt. Dude miss calculated and realized he dug the wrong way I think. Crazy what one person can do with his bare hands.
Schmidt tunnel is in Redrock park. He thought there was a vertical gold spike in the mountain so he dug sideways to try and hit it. There was no such spike. Like a week or so after he finished he died.
Road
Road dirt bikes there many times from Dove springs.
Oh hell ya I would go in a heartbeat
Be careful out there, we used to live at the base nearby. Some of the mines are still privately owned.
Tommy Prada Joe Bogna Zane Cassidy Michael Coleman our next hike?
