Bill takes pictures with his camcorder.

Aiken Mine has all sorts of dilapidated buildings. This one is made of huge timbers.

I think it is pretty cool that all these buildings and vehicles are around to investigate. Others may think it is a shame that they have been left to mar the area. I leave it to you to decide what is right and wrong.

Tim and Tone climb a conical steel dome.

Aiken mine from afar. They mined rock off of a cinder cone for road construction, and I assume other uses like garden rock.

There is a big lava formation that Tim and I investigate. It's sort of sharp.

Lava rock in blob formations, and covered with lichens.

At the mine is a large scale. Since they are mining lava rock, the scale measures large weights. Gunshot wounds have frozen the scale forever, or is this just the tare weight?

The actual scale.
