IN deed. Its an abandon mining town known as New Iridia. Lots of shoot on sight signs and shoot gun shells laying all over the place too. there was no one there when we went but there was a habitable building on the top of the hill overlooking the town. So who knows. While we were there another car of people showed up and walked around complaining about how much of an environmental tragedy the site was. Too bad they where too dumb to where masks. Which is super stupid since the whole sight is contaminated with short fiber asbestos and Mercury laden cinnabar ore.
But other than that the place is huge and full of history and worth the 4 hour drive threw nothing, cept cow country.

No not at all...
| Two new cases of hantavirus disease have been confirmed in Northern California, raising concern that a rare but deadly microbe may be spreading too fast for public-health authorities to keep pace. |

Though it appears 2006 numbers were high, but the dropped in 2007. Either way, it does exist in California, it's rare, but country wide is quite rare too...

I don't know what's going on, but the guy who runs the new idria/three rocks web site used to have a page saying the hantavirus warnings were a hoax intended to keep trespassers out. I checked his site again today and now he treats it as a genuine threat. Not sure what to believe out there these days:

The hantavirus warnings were likely posted not because of any concrete proof, but instead because of a vague fear. While I'm not 100% sure I believe the way they look for for the hantavirus is by capturing rodents, then looking for the antibodies. So it's possible the county may have found rodents that had the antibodies, and decided to put up signs anywhere there were likely to be rodent droppings.

Or make sure you have a P100 as OHSA recommends for contact with asbestos, the CDC recommends a N100 for Hantavirus, but the P just means it's oil resistant. Either way, merely walking through a building is not likely to stir up enough dust to infect you. Most of the cases I've read about (only a handful) seem to occur through people sweeping up mouse droppings, or by touching something, then touching their eyes or mouth before washing their hands.

Defintely. There are two gigantic asbestos mines directly west of there. So you didn't see a caretaker? I wonder if he moved on
I want to get down there soo bad...
