Crosby Dive - June 8th

[lrmoll]

I talked to some locals in Brainerd over the weekend.<br>At the Southeast end of The Alstead pit there is some nice camping. There is a family there nearly every weekend and enough room to set up eight tents.<br><br>In an earlier post I mentioned some confusion on the map I had. It listed pit names (Martin and Hillcrest). In another map I found there are no such pits. They seem to be part of Huntington. On the Southeast corner of Huntington there is camping and a mine pit to go find.<br><br>Louise is the clearest pit in the group. There are various artifacts to go find. For example a plastic skeleton sitting on a lawn chair. I heard a story that a while ago there was a plastic skeleton that was visible from the surface. Fishermen called the DNR to report what appeared to be a long dead body. The DNR was not amused and had divers remove it.<br><br>In Ironton there is a place to eat called Gary's Sports Bar<br><br>A local diver warned to not go down any mine shafts you might find. And don't go in any underwater buildings you may find. They are getting pretty rotten and could collapse on you.
