What is this thing?

Post by Flyingcursor »

Whilst looking at satallite images for Tyler's house (nice mountain view btw) I came across this odd looking thing just west of Salt Lake City.

Here are two pictures. What the heck is this?

Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

That's the Kennecott Copper Mine! :D
Just 10 miles west of where I grew up.


P.S., I live in Taylorsville.....look there...

Winner!

BTW, Google has your address wrong then. Unless Tyler Morris is not your real name.

I spend waay too much time with google satallite pictures. Any time I take a road trip I trace the whole way via satallite. I also spend time looking up people from this board. So far I actually used it to help find chiffer's homes twice for visiting purposes.

Flydood,
It's probably because I'm not listed in any phone directories...because of one or two professions I used to do in my line of work. (prison system guard, "bounty hunter", and because I have location specific knowlege of several financial institutions from when I did work for Loomis, Fargo & Co.) You never know when a bad guy might come lookin' fer ya in those lines of work! :twisted:

Tyler: You mentioned in a post that you were a "big dude" and said you would post a pic. I don't know if you ever did that, but given the, umm, hazards of your chosen career path(s), I was wondering how big a dude you actually were??

Appearances can be decieving eh?
Inside this big ol' shell I'm just a softy at heart :D !

Tom, I'll post pictures as soon as I have Internet access at home again...we cancelled ours recently to opt for high speed cable because we dont use our phone line for anything but internet anyhow. the combined bill was more than cable internet, so we're switching.
I'll get one of me next to the car, then one in the car...you'll never believe your eyes!

Actually, Minis are deceptively roomy inside for thier size. My Mini has more room than my POS Toyota Corolla GT-S.

I must say that I feel slighted, FC. Unless of course that was you ringing my
doorbell at 4:00 a.m. on June 12th. In which case I would have to
say, "Do it again and I shall sick the bounty hunter on you!!!" :moreevil:

If that wasn't you, then my apologies. :oops:
