SO. I have lived in the KC area this whole time and never put two and two together and realized that the B&H mine system is in the Belton area. Does anyone know if 1) it is still accessible 2) It's locations or any clues about where it is?
THANKS!!!
B&H?

Re: B&H?
Growing up in Belton, I heard there were natural caves under the west part of town stretching from 58 highway to under RG Air Force base. Are those the caves you're referencing? I may spend some time on Google Earth tonight.Baileybrucem wrote:SO.

RE: B&H?
B&H doesn't actually have anything to do with Belton. It's actually an abandoned underground quarry near the intersection of two streets that start with the letters B & H.
It took me a while to figure it out too. Not sure why it was abandoned though.

Re: RE: B&H?
So is the site still being used? I thought it was a quarry that isn't used anymore. And are the entrances outside? Thank you!squeaksman wrote:38.957607, -94.584827

Re: B&H?
I just drove by the site (about 2 miles from my house). The entrance on Banister road has an actively monitored gate.
By that, I mean a dude in a yellow vest who opened the gate for the car in front of me.

Hopefully that link copied okay. You have to scroll through the newspaper article a few lines at a time. It has the address of everything in KC at the time.
