I always go back on blogs to see if I can pick something up. I just realized the name of the mine. Kathleen. That's my wife's name but is it named after the owner?
WOW!!! Thanks for those photos.. I love mines. There are a couple of hard rock mines where I live. I bit scary to go inside. One has been there since Native Americans were mining. It's been taken over by the USGS. Full of earthquake sensors now. Even a few active mines. Once again, Thanks!!!

You are welcome. I love mines and mining history so it was a no brainer to make a stop at the mine while in Colorado.
