Anyway, your GPS may not know of I-11 yet. Is there anything on the AZ side yet? I came up through Kingman last fall and it looked like the same old same old. I stopped and went back across the dam for old times sake. Walked around looked at stuff but I skipped the visitor center; I'm allergic to metal detectors. That takes all the fun out of it. Dragging a 53' trailer across the dam and up through the canyon used to be interesting. There isn't any major building. I haven't crossed the river in a few years. The WWII machine gun bunkers are still there. The Japanese had a plan to do a bombing raid on the dam, because it supplied power in aircraft building in Cali. Govt. had a plan to build a fake inflatable (?) dam further down river. |

I remember a plumber doing a repair on a pipe at work. He was tearing off the asbestos insulation with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. How about brake shops back in the day blowing off brakes with an air hose, dust flying everywhere, with no dust masks or containment. Cough, cough, cough - it is just allergies. I very quickly adopted the use of a water hose instead of an air hose - -- wash them down and squeegee the evidence down the drain where the dust was caught by the oil in the grease trap - - - I saw someone do that and caught on. I am dumb but I when a dust is created one does some alternative thinking. -- Tekkie |

Asbestos is part of talc. SOME talc contains asbestos. Talc and Asbestos are 2 very different products, but Talc and Asbestos are often found very close toeach other, and some talc mined is contaminated with Asbestos |
