Marc Myrsell writes “APE CANYON!!! Let it be known that on THIS DAY!!! The Ape Canyon Venderwhite mine has been found! Jake, Braden and Jarod Mitchell are all great grandsons of the youngest of the original 1924 miners, Leroy Perry Smith.
I helped them with detailed directions on how to get to the cabin site (it’s really hard to find and get to). On their 3rd try today, after getting to the cabin site, they started poking around some more and found the entrance. I was literally standing about 75 feet from here more than once, but didn’t go downhill far enough. I thrilled that family members found the mine. It’s their story after all.”

Now after all of these years they have got some proof. I’m so glad, now what will the experts have to say.

If it was some sort of sanctuary for a family of creatures there should be no shortage of potential DNA evidence inside wouldn’t you think?
If you video documented DNA collection from various areas inside with careful procedures and labeling…
Video document the process of DNA analyzing each separate sample with how each result compares to each other and every other known animal it could give more credibility to the subject in the long run.
My guess is, that won’t happen… please, prove me wrong.
I just imagine the excitement when they found it. Visions of gold nuggets dancing in their eyeballs like a cartoon, scampering inside and scuffling over tracks and contaminating things… That’s probably how I’d react anyway😂
I wonder how big it is inside.

It’s times like these I wish some of our family members were still alive to share in the wonder, excitement and speculation… Guys like John Bindernagle and Kerry Arnold, and so many more. 🙏🏼🌞
