I spent a week up north with a few friends a few weeks ago, once again looking for abandoned mines to explore (we did this the year previous, where we had explored the Tourist Mine and Rock Bolt Mine). Unlike the last trip, this one wasn't quite as fruitful, with our only successful entry being at the Rock Bolt Mine stope we had found the year prior.

Luck was on our side this time, as the loose quartz of last year had been washed away, giving us much solider footing to cross by an open hole and get inside. The pictures I took simply can't do justice for it; the stope itself was massive, and held together by an impressive number of rock bolts. The photos are up on the Rock Bolt Mine page.

While that was the only success, we did manage to gather a ton of intel for future years, so the entire week was not a wash.
