I received some comments on my Clear Creek Colorado post and am adding these pictures from the Gold Mine Tour at the Phoenix mine located just west of downtown Idaho Springs, Colorado.
This is the entrance to the mine. It gets really dark inside, but there is lighting.
This is our tour guide. I think he has spent too much time in the mine and is a bit loopy
This is my grandson Richard and me panning for gold – I still have to keep my day job.



Love the Bat Crossing sign! Is there any possibility to post it as an entry?
I am still in Colorado, returning to Austin, Texas next Monday. I will try to get over to Idaho Springs and get a picture of the bat crossing sign before I leave colorado.
That would be great!:))))
just posted it.
Interesting and scary at the same time, if only for the bats. 🙂
You acrually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topoic to be really something which I think I wuld never understand.
It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am lkoking forward for your next
post, I will try to get the hang of it!
