The one at the south end of the compound houses a giant blast furnace. Access ladders allowed me to climb part way up the gargantuan structure, but the roof was leaky, and some of the upper catwalks had rusted nearly through. I was only able to proceed about half way up.",

It would need repairs frequently, and you don't want to have to haul out a crane every time a valve wears out. Still, walking along the top of a four-foot pipe with guard rails hand-welded to the sides can seem a bit surreal. ",
