We finally made it to the kennecott copper mine today. We have been wanting to go for awhile to check it out. It was really interesting and educational.

These are the same size of tires that the dump trucks have that drive through kennecott every day.

Kennecott is one of the few landmarks you can see from space.

These dump trucks don’t look all that big until you look at the picture below…

and see them compared to the diesel truck that is driving behind them. They are huge.
