2025-01-09 02:14:21 +0000 UTCi went to cripple creek a few years back on a geology field trip and we went into the mollie kathleen gold mine, a historic gold mine which was being operated as a tourist attraction. their big draw was that you got to take the real mine elevator over 1000 feet underground, which really freaked me out. last month, an elevator accident killed a tour guide and trapped the tour group underground for hours and so it is closed indefinitely.
