In Reply to: Losing Proposition posted by Not Me on September 05, 2007 at 12:06:42:
Your right, it"s a losing proposition any way you look at it. I ran into a similar situation with a boat some years back that was sitting in an illegal dump on a pipeline right of way. Nice old tri-hull with no motor, needed some minor work and a motor (which I had) but when it was free it was worth spending a little time a d cash on. I called everyone there was to call trying to do it "the right way" but ran into the same things you have. There was no "right way" or legal way because "technically the boat (or trash) wasn"t there and didn"t belong to anyone" and the pipeline company didn"t want to have to clean it up. In this case there weren"t any kinds of No Trespassing signs, etc to make the actual act of entering the property illegal, and it wasn"t setting but maybe 150 feet off a paved road. I finally decided to just go ahead and get it one evening. When my friend and I got there with the trailer you could see fresh drag marks where it had been pulled out earlier in the day and hauled off by someone else. I"m still kicking myself in the a$$ for not getting that boat. In your situation though I"d have to agree with the guy that said to get in touch with someone "in authority" at the mine but not "in upper management". I deal with the guys in many of the mines/quarries around here and their usually just a bunch of good old boys like the rest of us. Their the ones that can and do actually make things happen in those places. Do some checking around and find out who to talk to and see what happens that way. Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
