The Open Pit Mine



Can you see the fish?




Close to my parent's house is an old iron ore mine. While drilling years ago they hit a spring and had to abandon it because it filled so quickly with water. It is 60 meters deep (196.850394 feet according to Leif). The water is so crystal clear, it is pretty incredible.

That looks like a blast!! Oh, and by the way, splitting up a triathalon and running a half marathon are not even close to same!! I will be cheering you on, but not running with you. Good luck, that is awesome. I am not that brave or dedicated!!

I can't imagine what that must look like to look down into the water that far - kinda creepy? Fun1
