Everything seemed perfectly new, spiffy and in great working order. On to the mine320 viewsIgnoring the hazard warnings, we ambled from the parking lot up the hill toward the mine. Lizard Hill309 viewsSorta looks like a giant lizard climbing to the top of that hill. Glad it wasn't. Tank307 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. Corkscrew Peak305 viewsLooking toward Corkscrew Peak (5804 feet, 1769 meters) from Hell's Gate. Mine Camp and Mill295 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. Dust to Dust281 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. Aerial Tramway274 viewsWe were going to take the tramway to the top of the hill, but it turned out to be closed on Sunday. Trail to the Mine270 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. Dust Storm in Death Valley268 viewsThe floor of Death Valley as seen from the turnoff to Keane Wonder Mine on the Beatty Cufoff Road, about 10 AM on Sunday, Oct. 27. The Road to Beatty267 viewsThe Daylight Pass road runs northeast from Hell's Gate toward Rhyolite and Beatty. Boudika in Jeopardy?255 viewsLooks as if the dust storm will quickly advance up the hill and engulf JoAnn's beloved pickup in the Keane Wonder Mine parking lot, but it didn't. 14 files on 2 page(s) 1 2 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 9c3e789c826494d556a66131131a00e8 [am] => 1 ) ========================== 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] (0.58 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.36 ms) [2] => DELETE FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE time < 1760247934 AND remember = 0 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (92.49 ms) [3] => DELETE FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE time < 1759041934 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (1.1 ms) [4] => UPDATE cm_config SET value = 1760251534 WHERE name = 'session_cleanup' [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.6 ms) [5] => 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] (0.35 ms) [6] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.26 ms) [7] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.27 ms) [8] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.24 ms) [9] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (6.49 ms) [10] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-10-12 06:45:34' [include/init.inc.php:448] (88.59 ms) [11] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.211' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (1.49 ms) [12] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.26 ms) [13] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 41 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.8 ms) [14] => 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] (0.24 ms) [15] => 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' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (3.69 ms) [16] => 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' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (1.56 ms) [17] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.32 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => -41 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
