I did get some riding in, and four of us rode on the Mesabi Trail. I was even talked into going down into the Soudan Mine - an abandoned iron mine which is now a MN state park. We were crammed into a cage and dropped down a shaft 3/4 mile into the earth. I'll never do that again.
Those old boys literally worked their fingers to the bone so their descendants could live better lives than they did.
I'm glad to be home, but I miss the nort' woods.
Anaway, happy riding, eh?

Eh? You aren't turning Canadian on us, are you?
Not intentionally. When we lived in no. Wisco that's how our neighbor talked - a retired dairy farmer. May he rest in peace.

If the picture in the post is any indication of how much fun you had, I am jealous :)
Peace :)
Living in MN I have gone on the mining elevatior.
Indeed, the mining elevator experience would not be for me. I had enough trouble touring the Hoover Dam (inside its bowels).
Cheers to you! Looks like it was a fun adventure.
In college, one of my
geology field trips involved going down into an operating coal mine, in East Tennessee. Never again...
