oh **** that is funny! :eek:

There are actaully a couple of them... this one was in front of one of the four churches in the town... (LDS, Methodist, Eureka Gold? and one other)... sure seems like alot of churches for such a small town... :D

I have driven through Eureka dozens of times, but never really stopped to check things out.. I bet we spent 3+ hours driving up and down the streets and out reading historical markers and signs... there is alot fo history in that town. I have several old ghost town books that I need to pull out and read up on... but I know that its population was at least 10x what it is now.. (when the big Four mines were in business)

Next Adventure?

Anyone been out to Vernon lately?

Oh yeah... I asked that you research Charcoal Brett (since we had a discussion on charcoal kilns and their importance to mining)

Here ya go:

To make charcoal in a developing nation, you bake wood at a moderate temperature while it's buried under soil to deprive it of oxygen. (To make it in Missouri, where most of the domestic version is made, you use a more permanent oven.) This drives off the undesirable elements but keeps the carbon in the wood from burning.

That is the short description... :D
