    Another interesting video!
    Lots of glass from the 1800s had manganese in it. Exposure to sunlight typically changes the glass from clear to lavender.

      Fascinating! It's really lovely in color. 😊

    It's really neat to see the mining town so well preserved with so many artifacts. Thanks for showing me a historical location I wasn't aware of.

      Hiya hiya! 👋 😊 The fossils are awesome. It's hard to wrap the mind around seeing bones as old as they are when the land looked NOTHING like it does today. Simply unreal!

      Agree! History from some very far apart eras that one wouldn't really think about existing in the same space. So cool!

    What a great video- such incredible quality! The mercury ponds- 😮 crazy! I didn’t know how that was used in the mining separation process. Wow! 😳

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  10 месяцев назад

      Yeah, mining used a lot of not so terribly fun chemicals it seems. But it's such a cool town so I guess that makes up for the idea of mercury ponds? 😂

    Well Glenn, what an interesting mining ghost town, with a resident cat🐈... Doesn't bare thinking about kids swimming in a mercury pool🤪😱 times have changed for the better on that score... Ichthyosaur tour will have to wait, I guess 🤭.... 🥰 Thanks to you both for another enjoyable trip back in time.
    Love always from Ireland 💚🍀 🥰

    Glenn deserves a tour fee-free. I know he didn't bring enough cash, but after that long of a drive and the exposure he gives this park on YT, should be on the house. Also, park doesn't look crowded, if I was the ranger and I saw someone poking around and as interested as Glenn, I'd be like "don't worry, come join us".

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hahah! Love it. It would have been nice, but parks of course need funds to keep going. Just our fault for overlooking the cash only business. Hopefully our mistake helps others though. 😅

    Looks like an interesting spot for sure. Thanks for the tour. The only time we still carry personal checks, is for camping fees.
    And some cash in rural areas for food.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  10 месяцев назад

      I can't remember the last time either of us had cash in our wallets. I guess it just goes to show how remote the place is! 😅

    WOW, what a cool mine! It is a shame that you can't get closer in some of the buildings, but really neat nonetheless. Thanks for the tour and let me know if you'd like me to put together a go-fund-me so we can get you the $5 for the tour! 😂

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  10 месяцев назад +1

      🤣 Unfortunately we're now no longer near the town, so might need to up that Go Fund Me. 😂 Teasing. No funds needed. We'll hopefully get back eventually.

    That siding is asphalt siding similar to asphalt roofing shingles. I remember homes that had that in my area back in the late 60s and 70s.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  10 месяцев назад

      Ah! That's what I was thinking it was. Looked the same but hadn't seen any used as siding before. Thanks for the info! 👍

    That gear tooth can be repaired today, but back then it would most likely have been replaced to save time. It would also require welding and specialty tools, and I can imagine they did not have quick access to that sort of equipment. Just a guess

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  10 месяцев назад +1

      Kind of what we figured would be the case. I imagine something like a broken gear tooth would really hinder a town like that in those days.
