< on 1/9/2013 6:31 PM >
|  | | | This is a perlite "mine" (above-ground only  ) I visited recently.
Not too exciting, but it's kind of cool to see the operation up close; the scale of some of the components is massive.
I can take the time to scan the prints in separately if they're too hard to see.

| | | | This is very cool. Did you go onto much of the structure and walkways? Looks pretty dilapidated.

Huh? Looks in awfully fair shape to me. Hell, a lot of small time active mining operations look drier than this place.

| | | | Interesting. Was this in Florence CO by chance? We get big bags of the stuff here for agriculture and aggregates from the mill out there.

Some, but not the top: overall the place is in fair shape, but the upper part was pretty rickety and rusty.

No, NM
I haven't been to Florence, though it's not far from the beaten path; anything to recommend it?
(Sorry, I don't know how to respond to multiple messages on one post.)
