Going to tour the Morenci mine the first week of December--made my reservation today. Grew up there, but haven't been inside. I used to dream about the insides, the tailings dams behind the chainlink fencing, the smelters. And still I won't see the molten ore, the rows of anodes in sulferic acid and copper sulfate. They won't show them to me, tourist, camera in hand. I am taking my camera. I am reading about concentrating, refining, leaching. I will tell them I went to the lookout point every week with my father for 12 years, that I need not go back. I will say show me something I haven't known but should have. Show me what my father knows. Show me forging.
