30 for 30 - #18: Tour the copper mine.

Kennecott Copper Mine Finally! Kennecott opened their tour up at the mine.  Its closed during the off season so people don't crash and die in the canyon.  Considerate. There was no one to go with me, so I made the trip all alone. Luckily some friendly man took my picture so I could prove that I was actually there. April 28, 2011  Here are some things I learned:         1.  It costs a min of $5.00 to visit the mine and its lovely visitor's center and Lion's sponsored  store.         b.  you should get gas long before you get to the mine, its kind of a long drive.        III.  There's a super old fire hydrant on display in the courtyard near the giant 12 foot tire.    Guess which one I noticed first.....         4.  The visitor's center video is a -must see-, mainly because you'll never get your $5.00 worth  paying ....
