Steve as a Jr High kid I went with my dad on a trip a little north of Pheonix near the Superstition(sp?) to install seismographs. I think to monitor for nuclear tests in Russia-not all the seismographs are for earthquakes and oil exploration.They were putting them deep in some old mines. There were several other abandoned mines on the hills one of the other boys and I explored-just had to dodge the rattlers and bats!
Pretty cool. They used the old acetylene lamps-water and some calcium carbide crystals that react and produce it for light.
