Has anyone been out to the #BLM #ClearCreekManagementArea in #SanBenitoCounty #California recently? I want to go visit #NewIdria. Is the road open and passable for a 4x4 all the way through to #Panoche or is it still washed out and impassable?
Is there still a seasonal restriction on entry to the Serpentine ACEC or can you go out there any time of year now (with proper permits)?
How's the surface friable #asbestos situation out there these days?
Pushing Mastodon to its limits again, here’s a one minute clip, reformatted for mobile, from our latest YouTube: New Idria Ghost Town and Abandoned Mercury Mine via Clear Creek Management Area
Here I am driving Clear Creek Road beyond the north BLM gate toward New Idria.
Our New Idria ghost town & abandoned mercury mine trip is up!
Our New Idria YouTube video is coming! I went out there in November having finally made it to the old ghost town on my third attempt. Editing is coming along, I am at least 50% through, with the weekend ahead of me. This video is at so-called New Idria Reservoir, which is a couple of miles upstream on San Carlos Creek from the town itself. #newidria #ghosttown #mercurymine #quicksilver #offroad #offthebeatentrack #powerwagon #fourwheeltravel
