The Flight of the Saltire

[Riverkilt]

Sunday Soaring

The teeny airship headed for the Bachelor-Syracuse Mine for an underground mine tour. http://bachelorsyracusemine.com/

While waiting for the mantrip the ship stopped at the historic restroom.



She took a look at the bear warning sign.



Then decided to cruise up to Uncompahgre Peak



When the underground mantrip was ready she sailed on in 1800 feet into Gold Hill. A power outage in town meant the trip was done in the authentic way - by the light of a headlamp. No string of lights strung to keep the tourists at ease - this was dark - and rightly so. Here she's checking out a jackhammer used to drill dynamite holes into the hardrock to blast out the gold ore.
