The Big Hole: Setting and Suspension - from busy.org

in #diamonds7 years ago (edited)

The Big Hole visitors center, where you can view the hole, a small information center, buy curios and even purchase diamonds.

It's set in a totally refurbished replica of the over a century old town, complete with electric tram.

Check out the sign above the electric tram... The Rothschild's are everywhere.

Note the corrugated iron buildings.

All the period item's are also on display.

Once inside you get to have the full information tour.

Note to @busy its not intuitive how to remove an incorrect image....

There is a massive suspension contraption leading to the hole.

Another shot of the engineering.

The final portion - totally suspended in the air above the side of the hole.

This post was done from Busy.org

What do you think?

formatting seems a little limited for now, or maybe just not that intuitive...

Spellchecker (a must for me) not existent.

Will need to clean this up from Steemit side

​It was great not having to upload my images to another site... but get it wrong and you have to start all over again.

Busy.org is great... I'm sure it will catch on, just needs a little maturation.

Nice interesting place. Busy body enough and google to find this place is in Montana.
