Sorry that it has been a while since my last post, but all the areas that we have been staying have not had internet. So, on day three we drove to Salt Lake City, Utah. We didn't do that much, but the most interesting thing that we saw, besides Temple Square, was the mines. If you don't know the Bingham Canyon mines in Utah produce 17% of the country's copper. It also produces gold and silver, plus other minerals. The mine was huge and it was pretty crazy to see how many people worked on the mine. They definitely could not build a mine like this in California. After seeing Temple Square we went to the Salt Lake itself. It was to cold to go in, since it was in the 50s that day. But, the water was really salty, you could even see and taste the salt. After that we went over to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone, which I will talk about in my next post.
More Later.
xoxo
