Where to start on this one. This is probably the most dangerous mine we have been in with the potential of collapses and changes of getting lost. About 5 years ago we made our first journey into the dragon mine, with the intentions of exploring the deep inner workings of the iron ore mine. Our maiden voyage was soon put on pause when a member of our exploring team broke off from our tandem group of 6, always have a partner with you just in case. Well, about an hour into the descent, we finally made our way to the main haulage way, the original goal. When we did a count off, we noticed we were short one member of the team. This journey ended up into a search and rescue mission. After about 5 hours of looking, with our batteries and backups to the point of needed to be recharged, we found our friend, safe, but shaken up. This mine is a maze, and an intimidating potential death trap. Opened in the 1880s, and shuttered in the 1920s, it was robbed of the pillars, creating entries that lead to other entries and dead ends. Each wrong turn you make could lead into 8 other options that only have one access to where you need to go, creating a literal rat maze, but the only thing is, if you’re lights go out before you find your way back, you’re done. So after tabling our return to slay the dragon for 5 years, Mr. Tropics 64 and I decide to go in one final time before it was too late.
