Abandoned Mine


I lucked out and Ax had the day off when I was in town.  We didn't have much time together so whatever we did would have to be a day trip, so we went hiking with intent to climb a mountain.  We hiked to an abandoned mine instead... here's our day in pictures:

"To the mine!"





 Axel hiking ahead

the cable that led us to the mine

 ...lots of cool old stuff laying all over...


 my driller man found some drill steel...

At last, the entrance to the mine!  They tried to blast it shut but it still went in quite a ways.

 Inside the mine.  Our smart selves didn't pack a flashlight so all we had were our phones- oops.

 From the inside looking out
 I forget what Axel determined this was.... old air compressor?


 The find of the day! An old drill!
at our snack break

 Cutesy lil' flowers.

 Axel and a piece of a dynamite box.  

 That spongy moss stuff was allllll over

Arch Angel Valley 
Such an awesome view on an awesome day :)
