This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

did someone say asbestos?

this is the tailings from the Cassiar Asbestos mine.

This mine is abandoned, and those tailings contain asbestos. During operation, green dust (asbestos) would blow everywhere. Kids playing in the snow would caution others to 'eat around the green' so they don't get sick.
