I feel so old.)<\/p>\n<p>We spent part of the day touring the Kennecott Copper Mine in Bingham Canyon, the second-largest man made hole in the world, and the largest excavation effort. I simply can&#8217;t describe how gigantic this pit was. The mine is two and a half miles in diameter and 3\/4 of a mile deep. If it&#8217;s any perspective, a yellow schoolbus at the bottom of the canyon looked about a centimeter wide from where I was standing.<\/p>\n<p>But first we toured Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.amyyaodesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_0092.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-197 aligncenter\" title=\"IMG_0092\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.amyyaodesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_0092.jpg\" width=\"545\" height=\"363\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.amyyaodesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_0081.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"IMG_0081\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.amyyaodesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_0081.jpg\" width=\"545\" height=\"363\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Spotted: blue Mazda MPV!
