Steve,

Check your private messages for a reply to this post. I didn't want to waste space on the board on an off topic subject. But, yes I did have occasion to travel underground from the Red Mtn. portal to the Pandora Mill several times. I was at various times a nipper, haulage motorman, hoistman, timberman, and miner. I'd love to answer any questions you have, if I can.
