A very rude surprise at night, fortunately it was day and my eyesight is 10/20 @ distance. I think I can do without that kind of fun. Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

Night time has always been the best. THey are interesting to go through, and sometimes they shut down. If you get the chance I would try, as they can be alot of fun especially if they have minimal crew at around 2am http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=20628 "If the threat level goes up its probably because of me."

I however did go in for a swim quite a few times. I got caught and booted out every damn time. Oh well fun while it lasted. A mirage is not an optical illusion. It is a real phenomenon, and one can take photographs of it. The interpretation of the image, however, is up to the fantasy of the human mind.

So very right. I should have added that. I was in my late teens then and never gave such things much thought back then. A mirage is not an optical illusion.

It has now turned into one of my favorite places to just chill at during the night. We explored the whole place finding what has to be one of the steepest hills I have seen, at least 75% which I plan on sledding down this winter; has a nice jump at the end into trees though lol. It also has a great view of my surrounding area and surprisingly of the stars; which is why my friend thinks I am going to use it as a make out spot, he was right. Also playing games like king of the mountain or just racing up the top of the sand piles is a lot of fun. Rolling down the hills can be fun as well but usually the stop can suck. So in my opinion definitely go just be careful of security, I am sure not ever quarry is as void of security as this one. We must always fear the wicked. But there is another kind of evil that we must fear the most, and that is the indifference of good men.

Bring a cellphone with you incase you get hurt NVG's are almost useless, because their is usually way to much light in the area. NVG is only really good for building that have ample security and relatively no lighting. "If the threat level goes up its probably because of me."

They are loud, dirty, and FUCKING BORING...... 2) Stay OUT of water at these places....wh throw all kinds of crap into pools in ours, more gravel/dirt, trash, metal, things that we want to see sink or not... 3) Security? WHAT security....we have rental coppers that drive thru the area 2-3 times a night, but they never really stop/bother/interact with us.....and we have no dogs.... Be careful out there, as other businesses arent so lax on security....and may throw MORE crap in the water blackhawk  This member has been banned. See the banlist for more information.
