Copper Mining Pit


Copper Mining Pit

I live in a copper mining area. This is the mining pit just 10 miles north of me. One of the largest copper producers in North America.

There is a copper mine just outside Kamloops very much like this. They do leave a big scar don't they?

I wonder when they will convert it into a condo development.

Seriously, there is a chance that I might get to skip down to AZ unexpectedly. A CA. friend came back up here to buy a house. She simply could not acclimate herself to our benevolent cool temperatures. Now is packing it up and moving back to her Mom's place somewhere S. of Tuscon.

After she got the moving estimate, she asked if I could do it.Budget 16 footer here I come. I HOPE!

Irony being, that I had once considered moving down the the Napa Valley of AZ. Elgin area. Portal on the far S.E. part of your state really took my heart away. Being ever optimistic I looked over the maps. I do not want to wind through L.A before heading E. Somewhere near Bakersfield is a route that goes through a 4,000 ft. pass. I will check it out. My other possibility is crossing the Cascades near Portland and coming S. on the other side. I have never been in that part of the country and it would be awesome.

I only wish she had bailed in the early spring when I could see the wildflowers.
What I will see during this trip, might be much like the above, although snow covered. :-(
