I discovered some cool vintage 1975 16mm footage by George Anderson flying over The Boraxo Mine and some of his ground footage so I combined that with my own descent into the open pit mine in 2020. The Borax Mine is across the Dante's View Road from Ryan Camp. Driving toward Dante's View you'll see a sign to your right "Haulage Road" which is the entrance to the mine area.
