Mariscal Mine in Big Bend National Park







The Mariscal Mine opened
in 1903.

Visit at your own risk.








Mariscal is where quicksilver,
or mercury was mined
& refined.








The mine was abandoned
in 1943.







Broken bricks litter
the ground.











We are warned to stay off
the buildings.

Eric goes inside one.









Our Jeep - This photo
was taken from the mine.
