I went to a mine \o/
Yeah, I am a dork. I drove out to an old mine that does tours. The tour was short and they really do not like people wandering around, lagging behind to take pictures or even loitering near the entrance. The website talks about visiting 24 acres of 'Old Prospect Land', so I thought I could solo explore outside at least a bit? I just checked and reviews and I am seeing the tour being either 90 minutes or two hours. My tour was about 30 minutes. I wonder if there has been a recent change? Still, I've had the experience of actually going in a multi-level mine. Eagle Mine has nine levels and the tour goes trough levels 5 and 6.
I am glad I went. I really like knowing first hand what being in a mine is like. We saw what it was like in full dark and by candle light at one of the stops. But I may need to recover my long-dormant Trip Advisor account and post a heads up that something happened.
Afterward I sat there for a bit and wrote down notes on being in there.
That was pretty much my day. I stopped at a cider house even though it sort of looked like a terrifying tourist trap. It turned out to be a total tourist trap, so I fled.
Then I came back to the hotel to nap for a while. This place is noisy and I am a bit behind on sleep. Speaking of which, I should try to get some shut eye.
