Dangers of hiking in Wyoming!

This is where Mark and I were hiking yesterday evening 5/12/2011 - Welch Ranch Recreation Area.  I didn't know anything about it other than approximately where it was located.  It is a beautiful location with grand views of the Big Horn mountains.  It is on the edge of the old Acme coal mine and has had an underground fire for a hundred years.  The hum that we heard is an active coal mine only 1.5 miles from where we were hiking.  Mark and I will go back and locate the fissures that are photographed in this BLM report from 10 years ago.
