Around 1:00, Junior, a friend of his, “Tom” and I drove out to check out the mine that Junior had told me about.

It was kind of cool and went into the mountain around 700 feet.

Unfortunately there were no side tunnels to explore. It looked like the cave has a large population of bats some times because there were lots of piles of guano and a strong aroma of urine. We didn’t see any bats however.

It is hard to tell what they were mining but we did find some veins of what appeared to be talc.
