So I had the chance to run out to the mine and take some photos without a tripod in the worst light available. It was really cool and freaky. Everywhere I went there was a set of foot prints just ahead of mine. And the leftovers were amazing.
So Smith Mine #4 was apparently the worst disaster in MT. And full of rime with a crazy grey background.
There had been a lot of looting already and I was actually keeping an eye out fer a wood stove or something. It 'was' there but was gone now. I imagine the rust and wood would look fantastic in a morning light.
I kept thinking that I was gonna find an arm or a leg sticking out of a pile of rubble. A fresh one too. But there were no appendages by the boilers. If I had something that I had forgotten it would be a. a friend, b. a handgun....
The parts room was fantastic. I hope Im around for the summer to do some proper exploration. ...
