      @@robertbailey1253the only problem with that is that this mine is not airtight. There are holes like skylights in many places in this mine. So they’d either have to seal off those holes, or have an airtight cavern of some sort somewhere. So in an end of the world situation, there are much better places to be.

      I can give you some serious history on JCT. Ran with them early 90's before elogs and lease purchase.
      JCT was a horrible company bcos you didn't know better. You're designed to struggle and wipeout with lease purchase. Trucks maintenance is the biggest issue compare to trailers. Your maintenance fund will deplete quick as you tried to build one. Kiss your dispatchers ass for the crap. That's when they compensate with the good. Time off is to punish you. Wheels not turning
      You're not earning. Nor is the company with your truck. I can drag this shit out for a week. Stay away from lease purchase companies. Buy you a truck with cash or finance thru a bank. It's a suicide mission. Only a few will survive the gauntlet. Guarantee everyone paid a hefty price ( no paychecks) to own that truck.

    40 years ago, during the nationwide running boom, I was in a 10-K run in this underground facility. It was called, "The Great Underground Fun Run." The circuit wasn't long enough for one lap, so we had to do two laps to make the difference. I remember the race leaders and everyone else being shocked that they all beat their personal best times. People thought the caverns had something to do with it. But they soon realized the people who laid out the course made it too short. Some people were upset about that, but most remembered it was advertised as a FUN RUN, and wasn't a certified or sanctioned event. And running underground WAS fun. I still remember it clearly from 40 years ago. :-)
