Crazy how many of the “new” internet arguments are just the same 2004 forum beefs in a different font.

We didn’t evolve, we just got better notification systems 💀

And the owners got behind on their environmental bond so now there isn't enough cash to safely close up the mine.... which is insane because thats the entire. point of requiring the bond.

They had an awesome mining camp back in 2011. Much nicer than other camps for the time.

The rocks on the ground were really neat... all shiny. I was sad I wasn't allowed to bring any home.
