the union mine
The main
shaft, invisible until you're on top of it.
Just
inside the entrance, looking to the left.
Looking
down the main shaft off to the left.
The dark
spot in the middle is a tunnel leading to the water.
Two
inches of clear ice over blue-green water.
On
the ice surface, peering into the gloom.
Looking
in the other direction.
Down,
to the right; note stonework in center.
Closeup
of the stonework.
Thanks to my friend Tom from New Hampshire for sharing his USGS maps, facilitating location of the entrance to the mine. Someday maybe I'll talk him into it!
