BLM Rangers arrested a guy who was riding a scooter on the playa at night. Riding a scooter (and any other unauthorized motor vehicle) on the playa during the event is not allowed, and this guy should have read the rules. Plus, he had no helmet. He probably got a hefty ticket.

I saw a lot of abusive police action on the playa this year, but in this case, they did their job right.

For more information about rotary kilns, go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_kiln

New Idria is a ghost town located in a remote area of the Coast Range of California (USA), outside the town of Hollister. It was once a center for mercury (quick silver) and asbestos mining. New Idria was at its peak well before the Gold Rush in California of the 1840's and 1860's. There are still high levels of mercury and asbestos polution in the area.

If you don't mind ignoring all the "no trespassing" signs, you can visit an amazing mercury smelter with four large "Gould" rotary furnances. This smelter was abandoned in the 1970's. All those photos were taken in May 2004.
