The cinder at this mine is exactly what you need to build a new Casita Cindercrete is by far the best building material on the planet Cindercrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your wall Cinder is one of the few building materials that can go directly from the mine to the job site ready to use and only takes 3 materials cinder cement and water Mix cinder cement and water and pour into a set of reusable forms Walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick If you think that cinder can be the solution to affordable housing hit that like button

Not sure what cinder is used for out near you, but here in the North East, it's used for the roads in winter during ice and snow storms, instead of salt (salt adversely effects the environment and can also leech into people's wells) 💕

Cinders have been used on track surfaces and roads to provide additional traction in winter conditions. Cinders are also employed as inorganic mulch in xeriscaping, because of excellent drainage properties and erosion resistance. In this context, they are referred to frequently with the name "lava rock".

The Cima Cinder mine is the one associated with the phonebooth. Looks like you are at the Aiken Cinder Mine (closed 1990). There are two cinder mines in the area and only the Cima Cinder Mine was in operation when Mojave National Preserve was created. Once the preserve was created in 1994 the NPS worked to eliminate operating mining claims and served notice to the Caffee family running the mine in 1999. I think the NPS basically screwed over the Caffee family and put them out of work. Cinders from the two mines basically built Vegas.

[@timburns5025]

We're Elvis?

[@kimballamram552]

The EWU crew also explored here and the phone booth as well. One of the mine owners died and then they tried to enlist the help of California officials to keep the mine operational but were not successful in doing so.

[@normstephens8354]

@@kimballamram552 Yep ... one of many KZbinr's to visit the Cima Cinder Mine. Yes ... they were trying to get Senator Feinstein to help, but I think she was a part of the process to shut down active mining claims and did not have any interest in helping the Caffee family.

[@brianmatthews4149]

Cool to know

[@m35a2ww]

I believe it was groups like Center of Biological Diversity, NP and Conservation filing suit against BLM/NPS because those groups thought the mining operation violated the endangered species act...the desert tortoise....as well as other acts even though the NPS I believe, did do an impact study and found no threat. Basically, the Caffee family got hosed.

[@khyron6]

Very cool Thanks

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Loved those trucks. And yes the top section had a shaker grate to classify the cinders into #2's by looks of the grating. I'd say primarily used for road bed material it compacts really well. That whole place has such a unique vibe to it! Thanks for the explore!

[@deanhoward4128]

One of the uses of cinder,is to spread on streets & hiways in the winter time to provide traction on icy & slick roadways ; sometimes cinder is used with rock salt to prevent the roadways from getting ice packed! The reason you don't see the cinders after the hiways have been cleared is,because cinders will break down into sand like particles after heavy traffic has driven over it. Most of the equipment you are showing in the video is used to crush the cinder into different sizes,depending on what the customer wants; cinder is also mixed with cement for various construction applications.

[@michaelburroughs7494]

When I had to replace the sidewalk at my 100 year old house there were cinders used as a base under the old sidewalk, nowadays they use grave, the old sidewalk was not very thick either maybe tw inches, the curbs are slate as were some sidewalks were slabs of slate, they were fun to write on with chalk when we were kids.
