Old Mine Shaft

There has been a lot of gold mining activity in the area of Twin Lakes and there is still one active mine, the Lone Jack Mine. We found this old shaft on the shores of Upper Twin Lake the evening we camped in the area between hikes. The shaft only goes back about twenty feet into the rock and was obviously unproductive. It is around six feet high at the entrance.
