First call on that Operational Mine Phone is probably going to be a Robo-Call regarding the Mine Car's Extended Warranty! Crap!!

I need to get up there! I live less than an hour away and haven't toured it yet. I've been there, checked out the outside. I liked the flower beds with big coal chunks in them. Gave me some ideas for my house lol! I just need to find where I can buy big chunks of coal!! I know they do an event there every year, coal miner days or something like that. I want to enter the coal shoveling contest! I can empty a ton and a half off my pickup pretty quickly, I may have a shot!!!
