Site Reviews
Granny smith is an old site. The camp is pretty old but they upgraded the wetmess which is a nice place to socialize. The bar serves full strength beer and is well priced. $3 a beer i think. The room were average, Some share a bathroom so if you are a contractor you will get one no doubt.Food was average
The site is very management heavy so was a bit annoying when the guys doing the underground work have to do two jobs at once.
Not a bad site but could be better.
I havent worked at Granny Smith mine since 2008 but was pretty good site back then. Granny Smith mine was small with a good crew. Most of the underground machinery is in good condition when I worked there so that made life easier.
