    Ophir Hill Campout February 13th-14th

    The campout to Ophir we hosted last week had a great turnout. We had people all over the mine camping and snoring away. Saturday night, Stuart took a group of mostly new people and gave them a grand tour of the mine while the rest of us hung out in the Blue Room and did a little exploring nearby. On Sunday we had some people leave in the morning and had more arrive for the Intro Trip. Stuart and I took a small group consisting of Brent, Bobby and Dentin and went to find some new territory. We headed up Crystal’s incline, took a right and explored that entire section out, finding another exit! That makes five confirmed exits/entrances to the Ophir Hill mine. The one we found was a grated shaft. We continued to follow the stope up and found the largest room to be seen in the Ophir. Overall this was a very fun and exciting trip and thanks to everyone who came out with us and donated! We really appreciate it!

        THE best trip yet for me. Thanks for taking us out on Saturday night Stuart to do the loop. Sliding down the ore shoot was awesome! And the trip up Crystal's incline to find the 5th exit was really cool too, wish I could have seen the 6th. Such a fun trip. You guys always do such a great job organizing these trips.

          Oh almost forgot. Kurt, you missed out. We took Dentin underground for this trip. He loved it. Had a hard time keeping track of him though, he wanted to see every part of the mine. It was good times. See you next trip maybe.
