Gallery Description
A visit that almost didn't happen. While driving towards the Death Valley Mine while on Morning Star Road, after having explored the Goldome property, I realized that we were passing by the Morning Star Mine. I had marked the site on my GPS but hadn't planned on visiting during the trip since based on the reading I had done online beforehand, I believed that the EPA and the NPS had already finished cleaning up the site and demolished all the buildings. Lack of any information online from prolific mine explorers and 4x4ers who have travelled and explored in the area around the site seemed to confirm my suspicions that nothing was left.

As we passed by the access road I seemed to catch sight of what appeared to be a structure. We pulled over and I took out my binoculars to get a closer look. Through the binoculars I did indeed see a rather large blue structure shooting up from the site, about 3 miles away. With this sighting we decided to go up the rough road to see if anything was left, which turned out to be a good decision. Just goes to show that not everything worthwhile has been documented yet, there are still overlooked gems hiding in wait for curious souls to stumble upon them.
