WHooo some photos from my recent trip to visit relatives in Utah! I may come back now and then and do this in more than one post, but here goes!
My uncle's awesome, awesome, killer car. It's a 70s (I forget what year exactly) Cobra automatic (rare, rare, rare!). Niiiiice.
World's largest open pit copper mine! It's slightly over 2 miles from one edge to the other, and just under one mile deep. Wowsas! It's hard to appreciate the size through just a picture... but was it BIG.
Ahhh a day in the mountains. I like this pic, it came out really nicely.
Another great mountain shot. This was taken about 1/3 of the way up the mountain.
Climbing in the mountain crags, I found this nice waterfall. It's larger than it looks, maybe about 30ft from top to bottom.
This was taken looking down on a mountain lake (Cecret Lake), just about 600yds shy of the mountain top.
I wasn't able to make it to the top of the mountain, for a variety of reasons.
#1: I'm in pretty decent shape, but my lungs just couldn't handle the oxygen debt. I'm from Kansas! And I was climbing a MOUNTAIN! It was *huff huff* up as far as I went. I probably could have made the summit, but... this was a good reason to not push it.
#2: Sheer rock bluffs the rest of the way. Next time I'll bring my climbing equipment and get summit pics.
#3: I was there with family, and they were already waiting for me to come back down for lunch. lol
More to come!
Okeedokee... some more Utah trip pics!
Me, Looking for a way across that big ravine/crack in front of me.
Me again, trying to find a way across the rocks. Without ropes/safety gear. lol
Hmmm looks like that's it for now!
Enjoy!
