Here is the video of our group on a couple obsticals at Sand Mines. The sites were b.e.a.u.tiful. There is a lot of history in these mountains.
We spent Friday on Lake Norris and Saturday at Sand Mines. Lake Norris is so clean you can see 10-15' down from the surface. The Sand Mines were used to get sand to build the Lake Norris Dam with construction stated in 1933 and finished in 1936. The AVERAGE depth is 75'. The pulleys will still turn very smoothly without squeaking.
Our convoy on the way home this morning; 2 trucks w/ boats, 3 crawler haulers, 1 diesel pusher, and 1 truck with a Jeep on the trailer.
