What Brings You Here
Three Good Reasons to Write
The Form
Write to Frank
A name and an email address are all it needs. Everything else is up to you.
- What you send stays yours. Photographs and documents are never used on the site without your say-so, and are credited to you when they are.
- Where the mines are stays quiet. The site never publishes directions, coordinates or trailheads, so there’s no need to send them.
- Never go into an abandoned mine. If you’ve found one, tell Frank about it here rather than going in.

Letters from a Retired Madman
Come along. One photograph. One story. Once a month.
That’s the whole deal. Frank picks one photograph out of the archive, tells you the story of the day it was taken, and signs off until next month. A short P.S. points to whatever’s new — films and mine pages — and that’s it.
