NO EXCEPTIONS! This rule does not\napply to tourists who are taking a surface tour or purchasing specimens at the main complex. When I was there before they did have hardhats that you could use if you don’t have your own. \nWe are going to have a great time. There’s lots to collect they also do have beautiful specimens on site most of the time that are for sale again it’s cash only and the last time I was there they also had T-shirts if anyone was interested. –\nSee you all there Elley 🙂\n \nLink to Red Cloud Mine in Google Maps \n
