RE: Touching History: The Quincy Mining Company - Hancock, MI

You probably wouldn't like it. There is a point in the tour where they turn all the lights off and blow out the candles so you can see what it would have been like if you were a miner and your candle went out. They actually make you turn your eyes away when they light the candle again. It's crazy! Yes, the tour took us into level 7 via the adit. I am not sure how deep it was. Probably about 700 feet. I am guessing it was about 100 feet per level.

yikes..... did everything go dead quiet when the lights went out? It's really tough being miner 😕

I take that's going down in a lift, kinda makes it even more scarier

Overall sounds like a really awesome tour though. I know I've been there.. virtually !

Thanks, I appreciate it. No, we were able to go in little further down the mountain and there was no incline at all.
