It may be hard to believe but someone lives in the one in LaRose. I wanted to see it as well and a group of us pulled up to it. 2 guys came walking out in pajama pants to see what was going on. Good thing they liked old Army trucks because they gave us a tour.

The one in Larose is a different pipeline and someone actually lives inside of the buildings. Pic shot from inside the building after we were asked if we wanted to see inside.
