Thank you for the trip. Simply beautiful. I ought to share some of my pics. That is living if it were not so darn cold. I am in a way glad it is or it would look like the lower states now.

Kinda scary. I see stuff like that through the mountains here and up into eastern Kentucky and western Virginia/West Virginia. There are many days when the mountains around Campbell and Scott counties in Tennessee are literally on fire from the coal mines.

We had a big coal fire up in Sutton last few years. Kennecott is a copper mine, less chance of a fire. One of the cool things about Kennecott is the mine paid to have the railbelt be attached there.

Breathtaking pictures! I'd still love to get up to Alaska some day soonish, before I get too old to really get trekking around.

There is a reason why us old folks build up 4x4s and build custom tundra buggies to get the the less seen areas.

Ask the folks of Salt Lake City, Utah how Kennecott has improved their mountainscape.
