Yep. Got to Burgess Well and LP overlook. When we saw what looked like a headframe, we thought it was a mine, but figured out that it was a well. There were a few tanks down in the wash below, and all the staging in the well was broken down and unsafe to climb on. We didn't have alot of time to explore there, but would have liked to do so.
We found all the mines in the Burgess area near the cabin to be collapsed, we assume intentionally? I understood that there were thousands of feet of mine tunnels in the area. We were disappointed.
