The
Mine Adventure
In
August, two families from our church went with us to the Damon
and Pythis Mine. There were ten children and six adults in
all.
We
met at the Money Creek Campground and everyone was excited.
The road really surprised us because there were really deep
ruts in it from water washouts. Two years ago, my family and
I had gone to this mine with the Mineral Council and we always
wanted to go back.
At
the mine, all the girls were scared to go in because it was
dark. But everyone had the same yellow flashlights. Dad and
I provided gloves and goggles for the families. When we got
to the digging spot, everyone got a hammer and started to
dig. Dad showed them the stibnite and pyrite vein and everyone
got some. After two hours, everyone was tired and muddy--but
had fun.
