Instagram wants me to sign in but the pics it let me see are real nice. I bet that mine surprises many visitors with the cool factor and all the mine related antiques and history. Thanks a lot for sharing them! Im looking forward to the video also.

Wife and I were there early. Received word from Jack that he could not make it do to unforseen issue that came up at home. We probably left by 11:30 maybe sooner. Didn't do a tour, did that previously. Met the president and had a nice chat for a few minutes. Roof is almost as good as a sieve but it is around 110 years old they told me. Plans are in the works to have it restored this summer/fall if everything falls into place. It sounds like it will be very nice and retain its original look when done, we shall see. Too bad we missed you Scott, IDK if we left before you got there or not. We mostly went for the Honkey food and the wife really enjoyed it.
