Middle & Southern Field Mines

Tower City, Mt. Carmel, Shenandoah, and the surrounding areas. NOTE: Do Not attempt to locate abandon mines. I have had permission to enter many of these. Also, some photos make it seem like I am deep inside, when it's just camera tricks. **Stay out, stay alive.** Want to check out some mine fires?
