Day 5 Afternoon

This afternoon we traveled to Mountain Laurel to see coal being cleaned at their huge processing plant. We got all gussied up in our hard hats, safety glasses, ear plugs, and borrowed boots. We walked through the plant and saw all the different machines used to clean and crush the coal. It was very warm and water was constantly dripping in the plant. The process was very impressive, but again we did not get to take pictures. This was a very unique situation, and I was happy to have the opportunity to better understand the coal cycle.
