THE MAZAMA QUEEN MINE

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Nice little mine there, Dave. The compressor is cool to see. That's correct about the muck sheets. When miners are setting off a shot on the working face, the shots are timed fractions of seconds apart so that the first several blasts loosen up and fracture the rock and the last blasts lift up all the loose rock and throw it onto the muck sheet. From there they can shovel it into the ore cars. Thanks for the tour and shout-out!

I feel like every mine I've been to I've missed something.

Northern Pacific rattlesnake. Nice one.

it was small so I thought the sound was a cricket at first.

@@ExploringCabinsandMines It didn't look too aggressive. It was in full retreat. Beware of crickets with rattles and fangs. Good mine explore.
