    I’m sad to see the no-fun service sealed the adit. Nothing a band-saw can’t get through. When they seal it with foam, it is a pain in the ass to get through and emits poison gas when burned so keep that in mind if ever removing it. 🙂

    Where is this at? I noticed they put a cage just like that at a spot I went to in Alta Dena California. It’s called the Don mine trail. I’d like to see how close they are if you can give the location please
