I love both areas too. And my brother wonders why I dont move out to Seattle  :laugh:



Sure Seattle has great areas too, but its not the same as here. Here feels like home. Plus been here all my life lol. My family been in this area since the 1700's at least.

I actually dont have to go far, Im close to WV, and locally there are mines nearby too, and caverns. Im here in the Appalachian Mountain Range, near the Blue Ridge mountains.

I fell in love with the Blue Ridge mountains long ago. I believe they are also referred to as the Smoky Mountains or at least they make up the same mountain range?



Gatlinburg AKA "Gateway to the Smokies" we chose as honeymoon spot, as part of a Tennessee tour coming back through Virginia  .. While some time ago it was a much nicer place to be that our hokey built-for-Vancouver Yuppies area



Is Gatlinburg still "dry"? Of course one does what what one wants in their hotel room (you can add whatever connotations to that  you wish  :wink: )



Also prefer the Smokies and ' Blue Ridge Mountains to the Rockies here


I "think", the Smoky Mountains is in Tennessee, but is part of the Appalachian Mountain Range.



I went to Gatlinburg with my Great Aunt a few years back around Christmas time. Its only a few hours from here. We hit the moonshine distilleries lol. Actually, she wants to go back, and we're talking about maybe next week, or before the end of the month.

A farmer we knew was charging a fee for guided tours of one of the cave systems on his property and it was a blast. Started at hole in the field about the size of an abdomen and ended about a kilometre away. It was like being a worm or snake trying to get through sections of it.....having to angle shoulders and such.



Plenty of cave spiders, bats, and wombat poo...

I have no desire to tour an abandoned cave.


I toured the cave system on Barbados years ago....Damp, cold and dark. I got pics of some interesting limestone rock formations but all in all it was a rather uncomfortable, unsettling and rather underwhelming experience.

That would be cool. An abandoned mine, I don't know.


It was okay. They actually have a tram system that you ride down into the cave.



Mines are abandoned usually because of one of two reasons,...They are either played out or too dangerous to be used.



Amateurs crawling around in underground holes without proper safety gear and without an outside contact to alert a rescue team in the event of a mishap are complete idiots....But I think you already knew that.

Bet if you headed out to Banjo country in West Virginia, you could probably find some mines out there!  Pic below is from there!

which is likely a brake?

You are right. It is a handbrake.

If anybody could confirm that, it would be you.
