In 2021 we were heading back to Texas traveling east straight from Kentucky with a stop in Kansas for a couple of days before heading south.

As we traveled south from Iowa into Kansas, we stopped at a mobile home & RV Park in Pittsburg. We stayed there a couple of days and decided to go to the local miner's museum to see what kind of mining was in Kansas during the 1900s. The above picture is a mural painted on the side of a building depicting the beginning of a miner's day as they rode the coal cars down into the mines. The last view they had of the day was the beautiful countryside before being lowered into the depths of the mines into total darkness lit only by their carbide lamps.
