I wasn' talking about Jeddo. If something breaks there the can fix it. I was talking about the other place and not the active one. I can probably leave for a day late April.

Hey I had many bitter battles with you, Just me and you. No Chris or Banks. Sometimes Ohio John would chime in or your brother but it was mostly just me and you there for a while. I'm happy though I thought I'd never meet someone half as stubborn or pig headed as myself.

Keep it up you, someday we will get in a battle and you will have to go to Banks to be consoled.

There hasn't been a ghost of a chance of a bootleg type bitty mine since the 1900's. Maybe a few into the 1930's . And I live in the outcrop area.


Not really wanting to fuel the fire much but, there was a small bootleg operation near Charleston WV, above my aunt and uncles house. And many coal miners including my dad would find a coal out crop and mine house coal. Many even had a small belt system in them.
