YouTube Video Description

In today’s video, we take you on a very special guided tour of the Ute-Ulay Mine in Lake City, Colorado. This tour is hosted by the one and only George Hurd, miner and care-taker of the Ute-Ulay for decades. He walks us around the entire mine and mill site, pointing out structures and historical facts and memories! Lake City, Colorado, is the only incorporated town in Hinsdale County, Colorado— the most remote county in the continental United States! This channel explores our adventures in Lake City as we explore its natural beauty, demonstrate our off-grid living in our cabins, including our solar set-up and gravity-fed water system, and also as we adventure away from Lake City to other destinations, including our happy place— Walt Disney World!
