Day 162

Today we went to the Great Salt Lake, the area we went to was in Saltair and was a dead bird dumping ground. We walked out to the water and you couldn't take more than a few steps without a bird carcass at your feet. No idea why! Then we went to the Bingham Copper Mine, it's the worlds largest open copper mine and can be seen from space! It was opened in 1908 and was barely 20ft deep, now it's well over 500ft deep! The trucks can carry upwards of 3 tons in a single load!! It was fascinating and the kids loved it. Then we came home, had dinner and packed! Nate picks us up at 545 am, our flight is at 750am and we are due back in soggy Pensacola around 315!! Can't wait to kiss a puppy and pet a hubby!!
