As of this afternoon it's a yes. There are three caravans there with a number of dogs one of which was similar to the Hound of the Baskervilles. You can still get into the engine house (I didn't have time), and you can queeze past another caravan to the viewing platform as you can see.

I dread to think what state this site is in now, might go past on my way to the mining games... -- Is it safe to come out of the bunker yet? IP: 89.241.106.219

I imagine that would feel good! IP: 87.114.10.243

Will try to post my very grainy pictures (taken from 1/4 mile away) of the "smokin' at Williams shaft" soon. -- Is it safe to come out of the bunker yet? IP: 89.242.57.85
