Well, I finally found the Mine today. I got up there late again. The DWHMvol1 book says a B-2 hike. BULL. 2 maybe... B?? no D. It was climbing up a nasty hill full of devil's club. We had no time to explore but, I know where it is for future reference. There was a sign that said "KEEP OUT, RABID BATS!". Is that a joke? Or are there rabid bats in there? That would be neato. I never found "The Rock" that the book mentioned, but we found the mine and that's all that matters. About 10 minutes later and we woulda been comin out in the dark. not good.
I Wouldn't know whether
bats are there, but anybody who explores caves, mines or old barns etc., where bats might be should have a rabies vaccine. Rabies is one disease modern medicine cannot help you with, it is universally fatal. Only 1 possibly 2 survivors ever known, (one was a mexican and the diagnosis was questioned.)
Perhaps you found a different tunnel? Who knows, I was up there once and couldn't find that rock or the adit either. Did you happen to get the coordinates? Or would you like to share the directions?
