Posted by reduxzero For a second I thought this might've been in the old Continental Hotel on Granville they're tearing down (photo from Hilite above). Has anyone gone in since it was shut down? |
Posted by Crawnorder I thought it was really cool, iv wanted to check out the mines since I was a kid. We were visiting some friends in Princeton anyway, so we went up there. It was sunny the whole time, but literally out of no where it turned into a heavy downpour and lightning. I recommend it, we had a lot of fun. We were going to stop at Camp Defiance too on the way up (its in the ue database), but it's so overgrown I couldnt remember where it was. There are a few small cabins at Manning right now that are boarded up too, but nothing worth going out of your way for. |
Posted by reduxzero All this talk about mines motivated me to actually leave the house yesterday. https://farm9.stat...6_b8630e813e_d.jpg North Portal. After going around a long bend, enveloping blackness! I was under-prepared with only a flashlight and a camera. My research said it was only a couple kms, so I went to the end. Pretty much just a long tunnel. Lots of tire tracks, a few pieces of equipment left to rust. The air flow was really good, because the tunnel is open at the other end too. The south portal was up a winze, and so because I didn't totally trust the ladders (and I was by myself), I didn't climb up. https://farm9.stat...6_3ab4dde8f5_d.jpg Exploring a mine gets kind of boring, after walking a few kilometers with this view. At least getting lost wasn't a concern. |
