Easier said than done. I live in a small (5k) suburb of San Diego, and I *know* that I have a CO inside the town limits. I even know it's a 1AESS. (619/259) For some reason or other, TPC considers the physical location of its plants to be some kind of top secret information -- probably so that saboteurs won't come ashore and blow them up. I used to think I knew approximately where the CO was, but there's been a fair amount of building in the last five years, and the other day when I went to hunt it down (after the business office wouldn't tell me where it is) I couldn't find it. I tried following lines, but Del Mar is about half underground and half above ground, so everytime I thought the wires looked like they were getting fat, they would dive underground. Not only that, people were looking at me funny as I drove my motorcycle down the street gazing into the sky. After the third near miss I decided to call it a day. So, is there some physical clue (besides fat wires) that I could look for? I know to look for short fat brick buildings. Anything else? Does someone archive addresses of CO's?
