That is very sad We live about 60 mile south of there and there are mines every where around here. I had a friend once who some how just missed riding his 3 wheeler into 1 at the top of a hill,scary scary

That is sad. I saw it on the news yesteray.Hope the second girl will be ok. That had to have been a living nightmare for the father.
Maybe riders need to start marking all those shafts as they come across them if they are not already doing so.

sad, i heard it on FOX news on the satellite radio today

yikes, that is sad.

Years ago I was driving what appeared to be a fairly well traveled 4x4 road in my pickup, I came to the top of a hill where you could not see what was on the other side, thankfully I stopped, got out, and took a look....a big open hole mine shaft was on the other side, if I had even nosed over to see, it may have been too late.
