Sending a CAMERA down an old abandoned mine shaft in historic Virginia City, Nevada – near Reno!

What was it like to be lowered underground into the mines during the heyday of the Comstock Lode? We’ve consulted a first-hand account by Dan De Quille from the 1870’s and will take a look down inside this historic site just outside of our local not-so ghost town, Virginia City, Nevada.

This is the place to learn interesting things about Reno, the state of Nevada and the American west! I've lived in Reno for 38 years (as an adult!). I've had a lifelong interest in history and spend much time exploring and researching this wonderful area. I started this channel to share some of what I've learned. I produced a full-length documentary film on the history of Reno's Harolds Club casino in 2015. Perhaps you're thinking of moving to Reno and looking for background on the area, or you're already a resident and this content might help give you a sense of place. I shall endeavor to cater to both groups! I'm also a craft beer enthusiast, and thought I'd talk about some of that scene here as well. I started homebrewing in 1992, and earned the Certified Cicerone designation in 2015 - this is a sommelier-like program for beer people. Please subscribe, share and come along with me on this journey!

Thanks and cheers!

Steve
