Today, the mines are abandoned, and partially flooded. It is quite large inside, and there are bats sleeping on the ceiling of the lower levels.

The entrance to the mine is a simple hole in the ground.



Fun with light painting.





The Ice Lake.

There were dozens of sleeping bats in the mine, clinging to the ceilings. They didn't seem to mind our lights. If you find yourself visiting a mine or cave and find bats, please do not disturb them. The bat in this picture is a Gray Bat, a species native to the south which is nearly endangered.

Was there a few weeks ago. Great time exploring. Thanks for the great photos!
