This half-mile long tunnel was built by one man over the course of about 20 years. It was finished in 1938, well after his mine claim on the other side of the mountain was played out. It's located about 40 minutes from Randsburg, CA.

Ludwig Nevada is a ghost town in Nevada. Built around the rich Copper deposits discovered in the area in the 1860s, its success was only sporadic. The large concrete-foundation the mill was completed around 1911 and was active until around 1914. There was another surge of activity with high demand for Copper in WWII, but it was soon abandoned and left to decay again. At it's peak, 1,000 people lived at the site.

This mine sits at around 10,000' in the Sierra Nevada. It was worked from the late 1800s up through the 1950s. It is still in remarkably good condition, due to the chain of owners it had prior to being deeded to the USFS. 4WD with some clearance is needed to get up the steep road, and don't visit in Winter!
