If anything, it's gotten worse.Nov 14, 2019 The Road to Beatty677 viewsThe Daylight Pass road runs northeast from Hell's Gate toward Rhyolite and Beatty.Nov 14, 2019 Hell's Gate736 viewsThis is where the Beatty Cutoff branches off the Daylight Pass Road to head toward Highway 190 and Furnace Creek. It also took us to the turnoff to Keane Wonder Mine. It really was the gate to Hell on this day, given the conditions on the Valley floor.Nov 14, 2019 Lizard Hill714 viewsSorta looks like a giant lizard climbing to the top of that hill. Glad it wasn't.Nov 14, 2019 Tank747 viewsThis tank looks kind of like a WWI German U-boat. I think it must have held water used to process the ore from the mine.Nov 14, 2019 Mine Camp and Mill669 viewsIt turns out this isn't actually the mine, which is at the top of the hill; it's just the area where the ore was processed after being hauled down the hill on the aerial tramway.Nov 14, 2019 Dust to Dust647 viewsA view toward the Valley floor from the approaches to Keane Wonder Mine. We were glad not to be down there inside the dust cloud.Nov 14, 2019 Trail to the Mine731 viewsThis trail takes you up 1.4 miles and 1,500 feet to the top of the tramway, where the actual mine is located. We had originally intended to climb it, but decided to get the hell out of there before the dust blew up the hill and engulfed us.Nov 14, 2019 Aerial Tramway683 viewsWe were going to take the tramway to the top of the hill, but it turned out to be closed on Sunday.Nov 14, 2019 On to the mine746 viewsIgnoring the hazard warnings, we ambled from the parking lot up the hill toward the mine.Nov 14, 2019 Hazard Warning831 viewsI couldn't figure out why such a sign might be necessary. Everything seemed perfectly new, spiffy and in great working order.Nov 14, 2019 14 files on 2 page(s) 1 2 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => ca3219583794a72b5a445129de4f3774 [am] => 1 [liv] => Array ( [0] => 1004 ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.3 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.23 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '8a1f439b7265d32e37841633071a56fb' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.69 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.73 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.17 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.19 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.14 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.19 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-04-30 16:09:15' [include/init.inc.php:448] (1.08 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.217.30' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.67 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.16 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 41 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.44 ms) [12] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 16 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (1.06 ms) [13] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 41) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1614] (1 ms) [14] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 41) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' ORDER BY ctime DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1630] (1.92 ms) [15] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.25 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => lastup [cat] => -41 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YTozOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiJjYTMyMTk1ODM3OTRhNzJiNWE0NDUxMjlkZTRmMzc3NCI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6MzoibGl2IjthOjE6e2k6MDtzOjQ6IjEwMDQiO319 [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => 01ab9cad605aea53af0c173c86672286 ) ==========================
