While staying at my parent's house last weekend, we were able to see the Crandall Canyon Mine memorials. My Dad also took us to the mine where he works. We weren't able to go inside, but he showed us some cool things. It's funny that I grew up in a mining community and know nothing about mines. My favorite part was seeing the control room. From there, they monitor everything in the mine and can even monitor where everyone is in the mine. It was an interesting tour!
