The Tipple  "where coal was sorted, stored, loaded into rail cars, or transferred to the site's coke ovens. tipple comes from the practice in some mines of tipping ore cars to unload them. The Fordson Coal Company, who leased the Nuttallburg Mine in the 1920's, built this tipple in 1923-24. This is the 3rd tipple on the site. Here in New River Gorge the mining process was complicated by the fact that the coal seam was half-way up the gorge slope. Mining here meant moving coal from the headhouse at the mine entrance down the conveyor to the tipple at the gorge bottom. The tipple was the operation's centerpiece." "large structure that climbs the slope in front of you was a conveyor that carried coal from the mine entrance high up the gorge wall to the tipple behind you.

  one two three four five six seven eight nine ten Glad you stopped in today, we had a recent trip to New York, trying to get away from the heat of summer, during late June 2024. Apparently the whole east coast was dealing with a real heat wave, BIG OOPIES, on that, normally we go north and can hide out in the shade and love the weather they have during that season of the year.

  "top secret WWII government program in which the US rushed to develop and deploy the world's first atomic weapons before Nazi Germany ..." "The Manhattan Project took shape at 3 primary locations across the country: Hanford, Washington, Los Alamos, New Mexico and Oak Ridge, Tennessee." "A massive industrial complex was built at Oak Ridge, TN, to enrich uranium and eventually serve as the headquarters of the nationwide project. Three separate uranium enrichment technologies were pursued in parallel. A pilot reactor and chemical separation plant were also constructed at Oak Ridge to produce a limited amount of plutonium." Hi there. I must say that the hubby was more thrilled by this trip than me.
