come see our hole

Kennecott Mine, Utah

"Standing at the overlook within the Bingham Canyon Mine, you can see, hear, and feel the breathtaking and awesome magnitude of the largest man-made excavation on earth."

You must go in season though. We were turned back at the gate. No amount of double talk could pry the door.

"NOTE: For safety reasons, motorcycles can no longer enter the Mine including the road to the Mine Visitors Center."

Great, there goes half of my plan. Hopefully, there are no objections to croquet mallets and golf tees.



"From the overlook, you can watch 240 and 320 ton capacity haulage trucks deliver copper ore to the in-pit crusher, where the material is reduced to the size of soccer balls before being loaded onto a five-mile conveyor that carries the ore to the Copperton Concentrator."

See our trucks & ride the 5 mile Copperton Conveyer.

2 miles across, 3/4 mile deep.

"Mining by it's very nature must disturb the land. But we're committed to minimizing the impact that our operations have on the environment and returning the land, where practical, back to its natural habitat."

Alright, lets fill that hole in Bob.

"Sir, I hardly think golf spikes are necessary. What magazine did you say you were with? Please put your hard hat back on. Yes, it's nice you brought your own. No thank you sir, alcohol is not allowed on the grounds."

from spx:

we're here for the hole, show us to the hole. we are travelers from a distant land, and we heard you have a nice hole. we'd like to take part of it with us as a souvenir, to show our people. did you receive the fax a few days ago? it displays our credentials, and calls for our VIP treatment. take us to your leader, hole-digga. Do you have facilities for our driver to wash up?

tee-off into the abyss. whole in one.
