Where does the tunnel go from here? Is there airspace or do the passages descend beneath the water table? Next visit we will remove the wheel and try back-float the passage in a wet suit. A short distance through the mud left me up against this wheel – a good place for mud bogging if [...]

Abandoned Mine in Northern Ontario P1010856, originally uploaded by Mic2006. I had one heck of a time finding the Harcourt Graphite Mine, following directions from an old guide book only to discover that the directions were wrong.
