Our minors are miners for the day






Day 2 we headed to Bisbee, AZ.  There is a diner we wanted to eat at plus a copper mine that has tours.  Luckily we had reservations for the mine.  They are limiting the numbers of people on each tour, less than 10, instead for the normal 30 -40.



They geared us up with vests, hard hats and mining lanterns.  A quick safety brief and we headed down the shaft.

Mica got some drilling time in


We all got a briefing on drilling patterns for loading explosives.


Then an explanation on the muck buckets.  They are so perfectly balanced that Kolton was able to tip them by himself.


This tour was awesome me. They even had a “toilet facility” available.  Not sure about the privacy......
