Thanks Sean,
I couldn't remember the name of the town. But I've been fascinated by Centralia for years....very very bizarre place to drive through. Surreal.

My close freind has family that works in that coal mine but was off for the holiday......they make 28.00 an hour at such a risky job......my friend is building a house 2 moutnains down from the mine. Really was a sad event. Real nice topper for the holiday from hell Pam
One guy that died was goin to retire in March !! 
I've seen the smoke comeing out of the mines where the fires were......they have pipes in the ground or sumthin to let it out......really was eerie !
