Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 15:32:32 GMT

Colton Lochhead | Las Vegas Review-Journal (TNS)LAS VEGAS — Nevada is home to more than 300,000 abandoned mines — mines that can kill you in an almost unimaginable number of ways.But those mines from Nevada’s olden days are attracting a modern-day problem for state and federal officials in charge of taking care of those death traps: vloggers and YouTubers.Interest in abandoned mines has spiked in recent years, according to Sean Derby, chief of Nevada’s abandoned mine lands program with the state Division of Minerals.

It started because of a misunderstanding by WSU coach Jake Dickert, escalated on social media when former Cougars QB Ryan Leaf got involved and peaked last weekend when McAfee, on the ‘GameDay’ set, devolved into bully mode and told Washington State to “shut up.&...
