So I'll call yesterday Day 0. Today was my first day in the mine, so it's officially Day 1.
Started off with fantastic brekkie at Boulder Hot Springs (they cater to your needs), followed by a dip in the outdoor mineral pool where Glen and I got to meet Brad! I got to meet another ASKicker!!!
What a great guy! Glen and I hope to meet up with him again (and hopefully the rest of his family too) whether this mine thing works out or not. We all had a great chat by the pool, in some fantastic weather. I'm already sporting tan lines.
Glen and I spent an hour underground in the mine, which is a VERY neat place. Very clean and tidy, and you could spend days in there just reading the graffiti on the walls - everyone signs where they're from and when. We found one guy who's been coming for 25 years. I'll take a pic of his signature and post it later. Before dinner, we went for another swim in the pool, and checked out the his/hers indoor plunge pools and steam rooms. Not exactly your urban spa; it's kind of rustic, but it was great nonetheless. The country and scenery here is beautiful.
Presently, we're upstairs in the radon room, where air from the mines below is piped up. We're hoping to put in another couple of hours and call it a day.
Within 15 mins of being in the mine, we could feel very slight burning throats and eyes. Nothin crazy though. Glen seems to be getting a runny nose - not sure what that's all about, but I'm not experiencing that at all.
Anyway. That's what's going on at the mine. I'll post more later, with pics.
