The family and I went on a Nature Hike up to Opal Creek. I read up on the history of the area and we became especially fascinated with the once 'prosperous gold mining camp'. The clan and I embarked on a 9 mile round trip to view all the sights. We saw birds, flowers, squirrels, fish, waterfalls, and old logging equipment. After hours of hiking, we finally found what we thought we were looking for, an abandoned gold mining tunnel, but to our HORROR it was a MIME SHAFT " as you can see from the photo provided". We will NEVER...NEVER get over that sight!
