    Cool shots!
    Do you have a map of the mines you go to or do you just explore?

    I've got topo's of the entire state. Many of the mines in that area can be located using topo's but some you've just got to stumble onto.
    These are places where you really have to watch your step. You could literally step over or around the wrong bush and fall a few thousand feet into a mine shaft.

    Great photos. Also shows how good a kilt can look even when roughing it.

    Nice pics

    Was out in those 50mph "dry storm" winds kilted in my UK Denim original...it flew around but I was always properly covered.

    You're a braver man than I am to go into an old mine shaft....worked the mines as a youth and got clobbered by a fall of ground in a freshly bared down shaft...don't know I'd risk it in an old one...

    About 20 years ago I got stupid and took some kids into an old mine shaft in Daisy Mountain north of Phoenix...a ten year old decided it'd be cool to scream...we were lucky to get out alive. He had no clue that screaming could bring the roof of an old mine down.

    Glad you were safe.
