FIRST PICTURE IS OF THE HULL RUST MINE, THE LARGEST IN THE UNITED STATE. I TOLD THE GUY AN THE LITTLE TOURIST OFFICE,"THAT SURE IS A BIG HOLE". HE SAID THEY HAVE BEEN DIGGING THE HOLE FOR OVER 120 YEARS.

Second picture is of the original town of Hibbing. The streets are there,sidewalk,concrete foundations, curb...they moved the entire town because it was to close to the mine for blasting..

I am going to stay in ND tomorrow night.......
