Paltrow Mine

This area surprised me with the amount of artifacts that were laying on the ground.  We found 4 collapsed entrances to this mine.  There is told there were over two miles of underground tunnels and stopes.  We also found many cabins and structures still standing.  While I was taking photos of the ball mill in the meadow.  I was very aware of the possibility of comming across a snake.  While on guard I heard a "crashing" through the grass and I jumped.  I spun around as I heard other guys screaming for me.  A young fawn blasted past me about 25 feet away and was gone before I could raise the camera.  Dezrat has it all on video I hear.
