Found it. Maybe. Pretty sure I’m gonna head to Hibbing in the next day or two.
Well, Hibbing is a place I would not ever bother going to if I were you.

wiki says they have a giant open pit mine. Now who wouldn't want to see that?lukethedrifter wrote:lukethedrifter wrote:I’m looking for snow.

I would actually love to see a pit mine as well, especially if it is active. Of course I would really want to be able to explore it and check out the machinery, not just watch from a viewing point. I'd still check out the view from wherever they allowed though.
