Lunch is over - heading back to work in the iron mine at Iron Mountain. It's a constant 42° F under here.

That's Big John around 300' away. This "stope" is 600' wide and nearly 200' tall. Around twenty-three million tons of iron ore were mined from here. The men made $0.13 per hour and the only place they could spend it was at the company store. Dozens died here.

Drove across the Straits of Mackinac and am now spending a relaxing evening between two Great Lakes in Mackinaw City, Michigan.

I spent this morning cleaning up my rig and working out the final details with AEV regarding my build. Here is a final shot of her prior to becoming an AEV Prospector.
