Mines and Mining roads







View from the top.  My Jeep is down there somewhere!


















View looking up at the mine








Looking up a ladder from ground level.






















Looking up from the first level. The guys I talked to went up 13 ladders before they quit.  Lots of air coming down and through, so I'm guessing it goes to the mine up on top of the hill.
