Big Horn Mine

I have been quite few times on Mount Baden-Powell, but never realized there is an old mine just few miles from trail head. Mines maybe new area of exploration for me, I read few books about mining in California and my son was even more excited after playing Minecraft. Tunnels going deep into the mountain for more than 1 mile and good map would definitely help not to get lost. We went probably half mile deep and should get back to explore more next time. We also hiked ridge directly to Baden-Powell, which was quite doable.
