   not too far. back around the corner a bit to a collapsed part. The support beams looked pretty makeshift, more of an art than a science…

   yep, gotta be wary of those old supports, be they wood or steel.

   can you imagine having to stoop while doing hard labor digging those tunnels? Sheeesh.

   Years ago, I wandered into an "abandoned" mine near Randsburg, CA. A guy showed up with a shotgun …. I don’t do mines any more. =8-o

   I used to do underground coal mine surveying. One day when I was whinging about having to work in a 4mtr high road, the old surveyor told me to shut up, be thankful, because in some places, the coal seam is narrower then a shovel blade is wide, which is bad if you take your shovel in the wrong way.
   He wasn’t joking at all.
   People mine in the silliest of places.
