2nd Dleg's assessment - doesn't look industrial in use, nor shades of superfund. . .
For spring break (and i do get one), its more about where I won't have to go: no 130 mi round trip as an unpaid commuter!!! Bye bye mr. $3.79 diesel pump, see ya in an f'n week!!!

that looks like a stinky place JR.
I'm going somewhere high in the mountains where my nose hairs will be frozen solid.

Spring break... is that when the inlaws come over for a few hours to change diapers so my wife and I can go have the no-fun adult date (consisting of Home Depot, the mall, 100 other errands, lunch - all in about 3 hours???)

^^^It is hard, but it is fun. My oldest son and I have really bonded since my wife couldn't do everything with him she did before she got really big with the twins... now it is 'Daddy-Do!!!!' and he wants to tag along and help me with everything from taking out the trash to taking yard debris to the dump.
The twins are fun too... It is amazing to see how tiny their toes are now and to think the boys will maybe be my size or larger one day (I hope my daughter doesn't get to be my size with the size 14 shoes).

Oh boy .. I sure hope not. :hung-037:
The lagoons treat wastewater - the wetlands are INCIDENTALLY serving as a polishing stage. There is actually an industrial process there ya missed though ...
:leghump: :leghump: :leghump:
Oh .. there is definitely an industrial process taking place.
You have no idea just how stinky!! This place makes Newark seem clean ... :suicide:
It's a land mining operation that leads to a huge waste pile referred to as a gyp stack (leftover gypsum). The location is south-central Florida south of Orlado. There are approximately two dozen such gyp stacks that are regulated by the DEP south of Orlando that measure over 100-ft in height easily making them the highest points of elevation relative to any feature around them.
These gyp stacks are extremely dirty - they are left over remnants of phosphatic clays that have several very nasty properties like strongly corrosive water and gross alpha (radiation) in the form of radon. The strong phosphate content leads to hyperaccumulation of algae and other odor nuisances as well. A real famous waste impoundment (Piney Point) went into bankruptcy a few years ago - required the state to pay out $200M in removal and disposal costs of the impounded caustic wastewater. The solution: truck it to barges that would discharge it by spray-hose nozzle into the Gulf of Mexico. :true:
As far as my visity ... it's a dirty, dirty place .....
Lucky me. :smileyballs:
