An unnamed mine (upper adit) south of Jacksonville, Oregon has two entrances. The first half of the mine is full of different passageways (up & down), areas of precipitated aragonite crystals, & a rubbled floor & lots of graffiti from the local kids. Past that, the mine continues as a narrow echoing tunnel w/ deep sound absorbing walls, giving cool effects. Calcite pools of water on floor, flowstone formations, and some soda straws occupy the ceiling. A nearby lower adit is also accessible, but is flooded pretty high w/ water requiring waders. Update: Both this mine & the lower adit have since been gated by BLM as of 2013.
