The Mushroom Mines of Kentucky

The Mushroom Mines are a teenage rite of passage in Eastern Kentucky. These enormous, magnificent mines sit out in the open, welcoming scared teenagers into its dark depths while offering a safe place to drink beer and smoke weed. Like any other good industrial relic, there are stories of Satanic sacrifices, Big Foot roaming the nearby woods, and a "tall, albino looking man" chasing people out of the mines. Oh, and did we mention there's an underground lake? Of all the places The Clio Society has been to, the Mushroom Mines are easily amongst the top three of most spectacular places to go.
