	So I found my first mine, no pics from inside of it since I just had my cell phone. Maybe next time I will come prepared. 1. The mine entrance. 2. Inside a train. 3. Someone stuck this bottle into a hole in the tree years ago and it grew around, and now its stuck in the tree. 4. Wall of coal ovens 5. Oven door 6. Inside the oven. 7. A shed.

	Be careful if you go into the mine. You'll want to invest in a gas detector. Coal absorbs oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide and water vapor mixing with the nitrogen already in the air which builds up in unventilated sections of the mine. It can fill a whole tunnel, and if the airflow changes in a mine for weather or barometric reasons the gas can flow to any part of the mine.

I'll agree with that. I never bought a gas detector. I've been in 2 coal mines and we noticed the air seems pretty thick after awhile. Whats interesting that the mine with the biggest corridors was the hardest to breath in. It even had a pretty good creek running through it. While the oldest and the smallest corridors and opening was easier to breath in.
