| Today - Potosi. Tomorrow ...Parisian "runways" | How about a rousing chorus of ...... "Heigh Ho , Heigh Ho ... It's off to work we go......" | |
 |
 |
| Okay !!!! Let's do this. Here we go. | ||||
 |
 |
 |
| As you can see .... there wasn't a lot of room in the main tunnel , to dodge oncoming mine carts & workers. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| It's a tradition to give a small gift to the
"Deity of Safety" before going into any of the side tunnels.
( mine was a capful of vodka ). Now .... what about those 2 holes ? Wellllll ... that's how you get to the lower mine levels. You scoot to the edge of the hole ........ A small bucket is brought up ..... You stick one foot in the bucket .... and someone lowers you down. At least the first hole has a hand crank for a 2nd person to operate. The second hole is a "do-it-yourself". |
 |
 |
 |
| Wandering about into the side tunnels was a bit tricky ..... but unique. ( and kind of FUN !!) | ||
 |
 |
| Well .... that was interesting & fun ... but I'm glad I don't work there | The guy with the long hair ... was out tunnel guide | |
