New Idria via Clear Creek Management Area | Ghost Town and Abandoned Mercury Mine [OTBT 19]

Описание: We finally made it to New Idria Ghost Town and the abandoned mercury mine on our third attempt!

After our two previous failed attempts (which together with this video are captured in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list..., we made our way through the Clear Creek Management area near Paicenes, California, from the Coalinga Road entrance all the way through Clear Creek and the Clear Creek ACEC to the final stretch of dirt road to New Idria. The video captures the drive along the rocky road to New Idria, the ghost town of New Idria, and the abandoned mine. We visit an exploratory mine shaft and cover a little bit of the history surrounding the town and its demise.
