Rested and ready to go

Today was absolutely gorgeous so we went for a ride and found the

Bingham Canyon Mine - Biggest Pit in the World

http://www.roadsideamerica.comIt is huge! We watched the funny trucks haul loads of rocks from one place to another. They looked like toys until we realized the really tiny pickup trucks next to them were full size and the ants running around were actually people.

The pit 80 years ago was a mountain. there also used to be a town named Bingham, until they enlarged the pit. They were going to close the mine in 2015, but they are enlarging it so they can get another 10 years of ore. They will spend 5 years removing over burden from the east side before they can get to the copper ore.

We then wandered around looking for downtown/old historic Sandy but decided it must not exist. Everything is VERY new.

Weather.com tells us there will be thunderstorms tomorrow, so maybe we will stay in again. That's very pleasant too.
