Exploring and Visiting Mines in The Okanogan

Over the course of a couple days, we ended up in the Okanogan region of Washington, right next to the Canadian border. This was a very productive mining region, with many large sites scattered in the hills around the town site of Nighthawk. We ended up seeing many mines. From the Submarine, to the Ruby, to seeing the Kabba-Texas from a distance. We managed to check off many sites we had been wanting to see, and check out the still very present history of the area. The minerals located at these mines are mostly silver based, but what is left now is mostly sulfur. A lot of the actual ore has been carted away in the hundred or so years since many of the mines operated, leaving little but the tailings and waste rock behind. Overall, this trip did not have us going underground, a fact which we seek to rectify soon. We will be heading underground into some of the largest abandoned mines in the state soon, and will hopefully make up for the lack of minerals and time spent in the dark soon.
