Mining is for pussies. Real men sit behind desks and surf the web all day.



So seeing as how your a miner, does that mean you're perpetual jail bait until you switch jobs?

TA-DA!!! Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week!

Seriously, though...that's pretty bad ass, Dude.

There's a bunch abandoned mines out in Calico out where we go wheelin'. I'm always blown away every time we go in one. Lots off cool stuff left behind, etc. Very cool.

Sometimes, my buddies turn out the lights and I get scared. I pee a little bit in my pants every time.

There's a bunch of places like that out in Calico. There's an old gravel crusher still out there in the middle of nowhere. Conveyer systems, old trucks, trailers, office trailers with furniture and documents still in the filing cabinets. Hell, there's even stock piles of colored rock left over.

It's just like you said: it looks like everyone left after their shift and never came back. Kinda creeps me out a little.

I have a few pics...








This is an old cabin not too far from the site



Yeah, every time I go into a mine, I'm in awe of the history it represents. Very cool stuff. Just watch out for rattlers.

That sounds way homoerotic.


I'll take you, but you keep your mudsnake to yourself.

Also note: I always carry my .45 when I go. So mind your manners, Pig.
