Otago Gold Field Trip-AMAZING

Went to a old gold prospect for my field class today! It was amazing! The weather was mild, breezy, and best of all, sunny! The sight had a half a dozen mine tunnels throughout it, as well as a stream running though the center, I have breathtaking photos from it.  I went into to 3 for "measurements" It was great because they are over 100 years old and have shrubs hiding their entrances. one had dozens of ferns growing all around it, which was breathtaking. The tunnels extended about 20-60 meters each and two of them had slightly over knee-high water. There was also things growing on the cielings like small stalactites. It was definitely a good day to have a trip. Very enjoyable, hope you enjoy the pictures (sorry about the quality, I just had my ipod.)
