Elk is so tasty. I love elk burgers, elk jerky, and elk steaks.

Oh yes, in the old days underground coal mines (and other mines) dotted the landscapes of mining country, from mom and pop mines just making a living for the family and kids and a few hired hands, to medium sized mines. Nowadays it's mainly just giant mines left and surface is preferred when possible for cheaper costs. I should have been born earlier -- maybe so that I could have mined in the 1950s, when lots of small mines remained, not just biggies, and the days of coal miners being treated like low-value slaves had ended.
I also love the old rail systems that used to haul coal and ore from the mines.

Wish they'd open or reopen some underground anthracite coal mines in Pennsylvania around Scranton. The anthracite mines operating today are surface mines.
