    midday day two

    On the south shore of The Great Salt lake is this building called Saltair.. given the nature of this forum i thought it a good place for the scarf to see
    i wont go into the history behind this building but for those interested here is a link (i already read it and Wikipedia is right on this one) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltair,_Utah and here is a link for pixs and history from 1893 to 1970. http://historytogo.utah.gov/utah_cha...bit/index.html
    over looking the Great Salt lake
    if you look close there is a few sailboat's on the horizon

    from there we travailed 30 miles back south along the oquirrh mountains to the copper mine
    when we got up to the mine, a storm was coming in fast and the wind gust's around 35 to 40 mph at the top edge of the mine, so the pix is not
    that good
    as there were familys there and i was more worred over my kilt blowing up ( mooned a family of 5 getting off the tour bus....... sorry if your a member here )

    but my wife did get some other pix of the mine

    those black dots you see midway up the pix, are the very large haul trucks, hauling stuff out of the mine. to give some perspective, here is a pic of my kids next
    to one of the tire's those trucks use
