rusted rivets on rotary kiln - New Idria

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.

Mondo Spider by the Mondo Spider Project

This is a giant mecanical spider, each of the 8 legs is independtly controled by a hydraulic system powered by a diesel engine. The driver controls are simple: two levers, just like a tank or a bulldozer. It can run forward and backward, and turn in any direction (a bit like a tank, it can turn on its central axis without moving). I was a bit disapointed that it cannot walk sideways :)

You can see a video I made of the Mondo Spider in action here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLOVdo_Qu3E
