BTW, Lunkenheimer valves are very upscale, severe duty type valves that are still made. That gate valve is probably around $400 these days. They're made to serve in such as slurry operations, mining and etc. where the water/air theiy control is not the cleanest.

Hi Sherrie. Yes, that could be part of the reason for the compression.

Those timbers were likely old growth and stronger than any wood I've ever touched. I dream of someone finding a scrap and taking it to a hydraulic press to see what pressure it would take to reproduce what you saw in this mine. Maybe some mine explorer will read this and have this test done. Also, the area where you saw the damaged timbers seemed to be in the vicinity of the fault. Is this correct?

Mines are pretty creepy in general, though, and we do hear an occasional odd noise. Timbers creak and crack, rocks fall from the constant pull of gravity, and animals that live in mines make noises.

That means when you come to an intersection, always make a right turn. That way, no matter how many intersections you passed, you would eventually be back to where you started. The other thing we do is to make a small rock pile or cairn to mark a significant turn or place. We will then knock them down as we pass on the way out. Thanks for the comment!👍😁
