@mrmokelly.bsky.social Hey, Mo! Disappointed to hear that KFI let you & Tawala go. I always enjoyed listening to the show here and there when I was out running errands or coming back from a long trip trip. Will definitely be looking forward to you to popping up somewhere else and continuing onward.

I found ore cart tracks in an abandoned mine recently. One pic shows tracks that curved back-and-forth like a snake. Second pic shows tracks branching in a burned area of the mine. My video featuring all of this and much more will go live this coming Saturday (July 19th) at 8:00 AM Pacific Time.

Where did you eat lunch yesterday? I ate lunch at the bottom of this inclined shaft in an abandoned silver mine that dates back to the 1880s. Videos of this and much more are coming soon on my YouTube channel.

@fossildaddy.bsky.social Glad to have found you again here on Bluesky! I used to follow you over on Twitter before it became X. When it became X, I deleted my account, got the hell out of there, and came over here to Bluesky.
