Today was my son's first vertical mine trip. I realize that the Vegas folks post a lot of photos of the Sultan, but it's close and reasonably interesting. Anyway, he did a great job and it sounds like he is ready for more.
We got to the bottom without injury. That's always a good way to start a trip.
Have to get a photo beside the mega-hopper.
He would have been in for a big surprise if the canteen was full of dirt....
We climbed up into the lower portion of the stope.
An old blasting cap tin. The lid says it all.
Someone used a neat old bottle for an oil lamp. Too bad it's broken.
Didn't take long for him to climb out. Must be nice to be young.
The day's over and we're heading home.
It was a great day to spend with my son!
