I&#8217;m big into connectivity and I&#8217;m very familiar with this pipeline and the network it connects to. If I bang it with a hammer (I&#8217;d never do that of course it would damage the coating) I can just imagine the sound traveling from here to almost every state in the lower 48 and Canada and also Mexico. I have maps so that I can show you just how that would work. Of course, you would have to put your ears to the pipe and listen very attentively to hear me hammering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/8796875828\/\" title=\"Untitled by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Untitled\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/8796875828_baa76384ed-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">My new trailrunning friend.
