Big Nickel picture looks familiar, but I had a C5 in the shot.


Vale Inco have been on strike most of the summer -- I was surprised last weekend to see nothing come from the big stack while driving up to visit relatives.

That and I was more surprised to see that the little smoke-stacks are disappearing. Thought they had 3 or 4, but now there is only one left.

2 miles further along was another one on the opposite side of the road,,,,,,there was 4 in total,,,,,,,do not,,,I repeat,,,do not speed in this State,,,you will get popped,,I have been coming here for 20 yrs and never seen anything like this before,,,,,

This is the old Raco military airfield,Smither's cold testing has had it for 15 or more years,,,,,we have had a lot of fun here in the past,,,,3 1-1/2 mile runways,
