I can't say that I am one for staying out of mine shafts but there a right and a wrong way to explore them... when you have the right gear and a good idea of how the mine is laid out they can be a place of wonder... I was in one last weekend that we repelled in to...about 20 feet over the side there was a little cove like spot that had the must beautiful owl sitting on a nest... She was not as please to see us as we were to see her... all though we did not get to explore the hole mine there were 3 tunnel of the shaft we went down that had some excellent color under the black lights... thought about leaving a cache but did not thing the owl would enjoy the company.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ford, Denny" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 6:48 AM Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] Mine Shafts > When we were there, we saw a bunch of signs saying danger stay out of the mine, even my sons understood it meant stay > out and that was before we saw the steel gate.
