Solo rides rule, when you come accross something and want to check it out, imagining what life was like 100 years ago. Ended up on a little side track on Satuday, the Emancipation Mine. Some pics of the journey, some of the destination I didn't know I was going to.
Hope others had good rides this weekend. Thanks for looking.
Here's the mine. There were 2 entrences, the collapsed hole was above them on the hillside. It was maybe 50x50 feet and when I was tossing rocks into it, it took about 3 seconds to hit bottom. Picture doesn't do it justice, but I was a bit spooked by it. Last picture are rusty rails, they used to run the mining carts along these. Been a while since they've been used...
'Old school' Mythos. I'm an addict, I can't remember how many of those I've worn down to nothing...
Exploring is high on my list of fun stuff. Haven't done that in months, since late summer. Poking around the next corner makes my day, most days.
