Miller Asbestos Mine - Front Pit Rabun County, GA March 2025 |

| When I photographed the Miller Mine in 2023, I'd forgotten that there was a large excavation at the front of the property. I re-noticed it while botanizing in 2024, but it was too overgrown at that time of year. I stopped by on my return from another exploration in March 2025. The lighting (bright sun & shadows) was absolutely atrocious, but you have to take the conditions that you're dealt. |

 |
|
| I walked through the large pit from east to west... |
|
 |
|
| Turning around and photographing whatever caught my eye... |
|
 |
|
| The pit is grown up with small pines |
|
 |
|
| With lots of dunite boulders |
|
 |
|
| Rocks... |
|
 |
|
| ...and more boulders. |
|
 |
|
| One side of the pit is caved in |
|
 |
|
| I could see cavities behind some of the boulders... |
|
 |
|
| More views of the pit... |
|
 |
|
| There was a cavity that went back under these rocks, but it was too tight to enter. |
