Silverton

After spending the weekend in Silverton, I was saddened to hear that the condensers had been removed.  Apparently somebody tipped the EPA that the condensers had been mercury retorts for cooking cinnabar.  The mercury was then sold to the miles at Monte Cristo.  I remember the first time I saw them, standing silently in the forest.  It was eery and beautiful at the same time.
Tonight pictures from the first contact.
