Exploring the Tiffin Mine

[Joanne]

That sounds great! I've seen so many great pictures of the area now that I am definitely itching to check it out. I love the idea of getting everyone together down there from all the different groups.

Yeah, if we could get some of the MU crew, some of the Underground Explorers, a few guys from England, and some of us independent explorers, we could have an AMAZING event. I have had three multi-day trips there and there are still areas that we haven't been to and shafts that we haven't dropped. As the sun was setting on our last day there, Bill found a new inclined shaft that we had missed in our previous trips. It looks to be in amazing shape and we can see about 100' down, but it looks to go further. Someone cut the top 10 feet of ladder off, but down past that it looks perfect.

I'm thinking that we can try to put it together in April or May once the weather warms up a bit. I'll keep you guys updated.

Incredible pictures. Joanne, I can't believe how lucky you were to not fall from that ladder you put 100% faith in!

I have to admit it's a scary ladder, but it's surprisingly sturdy. The ladder segments are held together by large metal plates. It does make for some amazing pictures though.
