Griffith Mine

This weekend we went with our little troop out to an old mine to go camping.
We had heard about it, but had never checked it out. What a neat place to explore.
This town is all about Gold mines, but this mine was apparently an Iron Ore Mine.
I'd like to do a little reseach about this mine, because it looks like it has been deserted forever.  Then Jeff informed me that it closed down in the 80's.  "Oh," I think, "that's not very long ago, why do all the buildings look like a ghost town?"  Then I realized that the 80's was 30 years ago.!!!
Wow, It gave me something to think about for sure!

If you can find pics of what it looked like 30 years ago, that would be interesting!
