stormdogIt's a super-busy Monday here, and on top of that, I have lunch plans with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rileybear67 and am spending the evening in Chicago with jimcyl and mlsguy, so I have no time to edit all my fancy-pants artsy shots. So have some more fluff pictures of a doggy climbing things he's not supposed to be on! (And many, many thanks to moiracoon for tolerating my antics and even taking pictures!)
Here's me being my typical (possibly not-so-bright) self, climbing an abandoned headframe at the Centennial No.6 mine in the Keweenau peninsula. (That's my arm waving at the top there. As always, you can click these pictures to be linked to the oringal on Flickr, then click 'all sizes' to see the full size version.)
These headframes sit between the winch house and the rockhouse. Cables ran from the winch up over the pulleys to the top of the rockhouse, then back down into the mine, where they served to haul skips loaded down with copper ore up to the top to dump their cargo into the rockhouse's hoppers. Then they were winched down into the shaft for their next load.
Me checking my phone. I got a decent signal up there.
About halfway up (or down) the steel frame. My legs were so sore after this; I haven't done much ladder climbing in a while. I miss it.
At the bottom after my decent. The expression on my face is the result of post-climb euphoria, plus happiness at my sweetie having actually let me do something as potentially hazardous as climb an abandoned steelwork structure. I just love climbing things like this.
