Cool photos. I haven't made it to the A level myself. I planned to go up there this year and spend an extra day exploring but I thought there wouldn't be any water so I decided to pass it up.
I did go back into Brownstone mine and explored all of it I could safely. The mine was less flooded this year so I was able to explore the rest of the first level. All the ladders in that section are soaked though and I had them begin breaking on me so it was no good. I made it onto the 2nd and 3rd levels but the ladders werent very nice heading to another section of the 3rd level. I took a bunch of photos and videos this time around if anyone remembers my 2010 report.
If I do go into the Pine Creek Mine I think I will go serious on it and bring climbing gear and paint cans to mark tunnels so I don't get lost. I just wish I knew more about the tunnels because I know the mine had major cave in problems in later years and I don't know how much of the mine may be closed off in a vertical sense. I suppose that is what exploration is for though.
I thought it was a bit odd that the entrance I found and went into a bit there was a heavy layer of dust on the air which was rushing out of the opening I went in. I could be wrong but for there to be so much dust on the air would tell me there must have been a recent cave in and the dust was making it's way out of the mine.
