Narrative:

While dodging around some rain showers well south of ZZZ class B airspace it occurred to me how easy it would be to stumble across a power plant and their newly restr airspace. Power plants are not always depicted on the charts and although I try to avoid the towers was I really 2 miles away? I don't believe I was close to any of them but it's hard to be sure.
