OK, so I have some idea of what/where I am going this weekend. I don't know if it will be an overnight trip (probably not) but will take some stuff, just in case. There is some old "mushroom mine" in a town called Lawton, near Morehead, KY. The photo looks kinda cool, and the whole area would be new to me. I don't have an exact location, but the road called "Mushroom Road." in Lawton sounds like a good place to start.
From the website I found the entry:
This Carter County town was once the home of a thriving mushroom mine and an old brick yard. The community’s founding date is unknown, but a few families still call the rural area home. Most families moved to Morehead decades ago. What remains now is the creepy, abandoned mushroom mines, aka Limestone mines, some old railroad tracks, and the old General Store. It can be found beyond Hadleman and past Deharts Bible and Tire Store on #174.
