After a yummy lunch we headed up to Dahlonega to show the kids how to pan for gold. Instead we ended up taking a tour of the oldest mine there. Great timing because it was 90 something outside but not over 60 degrees down there. PERFECT!
Can I just tell you how much I DONT like tight spaces. You cant tell in the pic, but where that ladies hand is tells you how wide it was on both sides.
Oh PLEASE tell me that's light!
The kids were doing FANTASTIC....until about half way.....
That is a look of excitement mixed with I hope this is safe...
This little machine is called a widow maker. The tour guide was trying to make some suspense and started talking about how fragile the walls could be and "what if dynamite was still in there" then he turned it on! L O U D! As you can imagine this flipped Jimmy out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt so sorry for him. He was trying to be so good but he was terrified. Pretty much the whole group had to reassure him that we would not let anything happen to him. He told the guide he didn't want him to blow it up!!!!! Please dont hit that! Poor thing. LOL
This is where he was poking around in the drilled hole. He was telling us that if dynamite was left in there and he accidentally hit it it would EXPLODE! Sorry about that Jimmy. He was just trying to create some suspense for the rest of us. Im pretty sure we effectively squashed that for everyone. HA OOPS.
Oh sweet light!
Afterwords we let the boys pan for some gems. THEY LOVED IT. Tommy is trying to sell his on ebay. LOL
The loved it. They actually got some really neat gems.
Had a great time but glad we are back above ground!
