I understand the caution around air quality but Carolin Mine has been a hot spot for 30 years, it's widely known in the area that a lot of people explore it casually without issue, so I wasn't too concerned going in.
>>768006I hear ya and I've seen much worse examples. Another one of my favorite spots in southern BC is this abandoned tree house out in the mountains of Chilliwack River Valley. This photo was taken last year the day I found it, I went back Sunday morning for the first time this year and it's now covered in fluorescent graffiti inside and out, the idiots even signed it with first names, last initials, and "March 2016".
