Adventure Mine in January '13

Kat and Kate at Adventure Mine in the winter

In the deep of last winter, Kat and I took to the Adventure Mine trails outside of Greenland, MI.This mine operated from 1850 to 1920 and is one of the best preserved mines of its age. It was opened on existing prehistoric excavations on Adventure Bluff, with the prehistoric workings dating back to about 5,000 years.
The copper that was mined from this site was only in pure native metallic form; common masses weighing up to several tons.
The trails were untouched with soft fallen snow.

I lost my camera, double backed time and again, and eventually found it...thanks to my faithful friend.
