Oh, Hell No!!! Submarine Edition

A school field trip for me.

Even though I grew up not far from it, never been in Mystery Cave. Did however go through what was then called MN Caverns, located north of Spring Valley. Has been renamed Spring Valley Caverns. With COVID & white nose syndrome in bats, a lot of the caves were off limits for a while.

can't recall if we did those caves???

Here's a link to Spring Valley Caverns. Had me interested until the politicization towards the end in the form of global warming and climate change sections. Now, no desire to see it again, much like the trout streams I grew up fishing as a lad.

I did the Soudam mine thing with two of my boys years ago. Some of the mine is actually under Lake Vermillion. Still the richest iron ore in the world but it got too costly to get it out of there.

That was an interesting tour.  I did that back when my son was in Boy Scouts.

back in my younger years working for DCI, we where fixing a 60,000 gal tank in Queens NY.  i crawled up the outside in a enclosed ladder to the top. kinda scary but man you could see a long ways even in the smog. felt like you could almost touch the planes overhead!!!! the ladder did have a cage around it. thik if i remember it was over 100 ft from ground level.

thats the extent of my risk taking!!!

When we were kids my cousin and I would climb the out side of silos. The cement ones with the metal rings. We would race to the top. We also would always see who could get the highest in a tree.  Somehow we survived.

I did the same thing on the silos snd was dumb enough to swing by my hands on the little platform at the top.
One thing I never did that a lot of kids did was hop a boxcar. One kid o knew lost a leg doing that. Another one was luckier—he lost the tip of a shoe but managed to get his toes missed. Looking back, I grew up with a bunch of misfits.

For one summer when I was a lot younger I worked for a company who built them as well as tore them down.  Safety ropes??  Who needed safety ropes?

Hanson Silo was out of Luverne and a lot of guys did that in the summer.  I did not.  Hot grueling work.
