Plymouth Pa This is a glimpse inside the opening to the tunnel which leads towards the
Avondale Mine shaft. This is the very same tunnel, which was used to remove the 108 miners and 2 rescuers who perished in
the September 6, 1869 Avondale Mine Disaster. It is a warm humid June day in 2011. But, the cool 50 deg air that fills the
mine and escapes through the tunnel opening, remains timeless. (this photo taken by Steve Kondrad
