|
|
Due to weather and conflicts in schedules we opted to do something a bit out of the ordinary this weekend. I had flirted with the idea of doing this hike for the last 8 years and was pretty excited to check out these sites up close for the first time. There were some moments while visiting these sites where I was a bit sketched out ... rusty nails, old ladders, collapsed ceilings, and rotting floor boards. We were more then careful and had a pretty good time getting our photos.
When all was said and done we visited 4 mines, hiked 6.88 miles, in a thunderstorm that lasted most of the day.

Due to some of the reasons that goofball mentioned I dont want to publicly release the location of these sites. I can get you a KML file of these locations if you PM me your email address. Keep in mind that some of these buildings cover 1000'+ vertical mine shafts and areas are pretty much falling apart so watch your step! |

Probably the best work I have seen with HDR. It looks awesome!
I thought the picture of you holding the "Keep Away" sign was funny. |

| Wow man, what an amazing place to document. And as usual, i totally agree with DiscGo that those pics are epic! Really vivid colors. I think if these were a decent size and printed you could sell them at an art show. Great job man. |
