Let's Learn About Mining!!

One of the places we visited (I took this trip with Laur, who was mostly along for the Mexican-ish food and the margaritas) was Bisbee, Arizona. In Bisbee, the activity for the day was touring the Copper Queen Mine on trolleys with miner hats and lights and safety vests. (It's pretty safe. You'd have to work at dying on the mine tour. But still, miner hats and lights and safety vests because never underestimate the stupidity of tourists. People fall into the Grand Canyon and die, two to three of them damn near every year.)
