I've posted these in the 5th Gen forum, but figured I'd put them here too:
These are the videos from my 2020 Nevada & Mojave trip. In chronological order:

Nugget Mine, CA 2020

Lost Steers Mine, NV 2020
Ghost Towns & Mines: Lost Steers Mine, NV 2020 - YouTube
Come along as I visit a fascinating cinnabar (mercury) mine on a mountain peak in Nevada. This mine features an unusual ore bin and two-levels of trestles, built on a rocky cliff. I spent the second night of my trip near this mine and got some spectacular time-lapse shots of the night sky.

Mina Mine, NV 2020
Ghost Towns & Mines: Mina Mine, NV 2020 - YouTube
Join me as I explore the historic buildings at the Mina Mine, a cinnabar (mercury) mine in central Nevada. There are several small shop buildings at the mine, and a large mill. I also found cabins dating back to the mine’s founding, and several other structures including an interesting bunkhouse.

Orizaba Mine, NV 2020
https://youtu.be/bss4G9ur31A
Join me as I explore some very picturesque ruins at Orizaba, NV and the Orizaba Mine. This was one of the most interesting sites I visited during my 2020 trip. The mine’s structures are over 110 years old, and include two stationary boilers, a head frame, hoist, and other artifacts. You’ll also see the cabins of the old mining camp.

Aragonite Mine, NV 2020
https://youtu.be/H3vW6y8s3B0
This is a small but very cool mine in western Nevada. It has an unusual headframe, and all of the hoist house machinery is intact.

Cole Slaw Mine, NV 2020
https://youtu.be/vN498b6rVw0
Come along as I explore a rarely-seen mining camp in a remote area of western Nevada. I’ve given this mine a fake name to protect it from vandalism.
The mining camp includes a mill, a well-built cabin, a garage and workshop, outhouses, and a water tank. There are also ruins and artifacts from an earlier period of the mine.

El Capitan Mine, NV 2020
https://youtu.be/XjppZIZNgUI
In this video you’ll see an interesting, abandoned mine located on a steep slope, near the top of a stony ridge.
This mine has a couple unusual features, such as a long wooden gangway from the base of the hill up to the mine.

Lone Mountain Mine, NV 2020
https://youtu.be/wCl7ultg6Mo
This is an isolated, little-known zinc mine in central Nevada. You’ll see a well-preserved headframe, core samples from test drilling, and some nice scenery too.
———————————————————
Cortez, NV 2020
https://youtu.be/B1w8WldnRYk
Cortez is a ghost town in central Nevada with buildings and ruins spread out over a wide area. Silver was the primary ore mined here.
—————————————————
Royston, NV 2020
https://youtu.be/Ll2FRAONKwQ
Royston was a major turquoise mining town dating back to at least 1909, and turquoise is still being mined there today. Several buildings still stand, as well as a few other ruins. Silver was also mined here and one silver mine still has the headframe and other structures.
———————————————————
Bronze Mine, CA 2020
https://youtu.be/4f7K4J3dDL8
The Bronze Mine is a small mining camp hidden in a mountain canyon in the Mojave desert. The mine has some interesting features, such as a tall wooden trestle and ore bin. The trail to the mine goes up a canyon with beautiful scenery all around. This was the last site I visited during my 2020 trip.

In addition to the historic sites, I also saw some fantastic scenery and wildlife, which I've documented in this video:
Nevada…Naturally!
https://youtu.be/cPP1Zh-t8A4
This video gives you a look at some of the beautiful scenes and wildlife in western Nevada. You'll see spectacular scenery, sunsets, starry skies, and a comet. Wild horses and burros, pronghorn antelope, a Great Basin rattlesnake, and other creatures are featured too. Includes aerial shots and time-lapse shots.
