Rolling Fog at Coeur d'Alene
The low clouds/fog rolled in rapidly at Coeur d'Alene, a gold mine on Academy Hill, Central City, Colorado.
Coeur d'Alene Mine opened in 1885, and continued production until 1940, the same year Central City's mayor was killed in an explosion. A spark ignited the blasting caps that were being trimmed by the mayor (who was also a miner). The closed mine fell into disrepair, with the building finally collapsing under a heavy snowfall in 1986, It was restored in 1994 by the Colorado Historical Society.
We departed as the fog/clouds moved incredibly fast into the area. Within 10 minutes this scene was encased in a dense fog.
