Kennecott Copper Mine




A few weeks ago we took our scouts to the copper pit at Bingham Canyon. They were so amazed with the ENORMITY of the entire place! Everything there is HUGE! We had a great time checking out all that minerals do for us...yeah!!! Our Geologist pin is FINISHED!!
AND....I only got in one fight with the security Nazis at the entrance gate this time...
$5 to get in if the leaders aren't wearing a scout shirt...what a rip...got a carload of 10 year olds in scout shirts as a game...we're on a scavenger hunt, how many places can we trick into letting us in for free by "pretending" like we are a scout troop....WHATEVER!!!!!!!

I grew up taking many trips up to the copper mine since my dad worked for Kennecott when I was growing up. It really is amazing. Those hugeantic trucks that look like little matchbox cars down in the mine, up close are so masive, it's crazy.
