The smoke stacks of San Manuel AZ are being demo'd tomorrow :break Becky was born and raised with those things in her backyard and I was around them since 1969. The mine has been closed about 7-8 years. Its a big deal up there, lots of people are making sabaticals to watch the big boom. I worked in the underground portion of the mine for about 5-6 years in the late 70's early 80' crazy stuff let me tell ya.

The ones at Winslow are for the power plant up there.  

I saw it on the news that they are coming down tomorrow... would be something to go see.  One of the talking heads here in T-town said they plan to build houses on the site...  :rolleyes ... yeah... sure they are...
