>>28175311. I grew up around mining. From my great grandfather on down. As a kid I would go to old ghost towns and always want to see what the mines were like.
2. I have been to many caves, but i don't enjoy them. i prefer to see what men were able to acomplish over a hundred years ago with very limited recourses. also there are many mines that run into cave systems.
3. growing up in the western united states i knew where the ghost towns, and old mining towns are. mines are easy to find when you know what you are looking for. been to mines in many states, and always have someone with me.
4. family and friends all know I do this. it is a passion for me. all of them think im crazy, and some of them wish i wouldn't do this.
