Tonight I took a hike up Ensign Peak, its just north of the Utah Capitol building. Really quick hike, basically straight uphill. This is where Bringham Young and his mormon pioneer friends decided they would make a city. They thought the great Salt Lake was the pacific ocean, but it was really a huge, lifeless (except for sea monkeys...) body of really salty water. The Great Salt Lake is to the right of me, behind that ridge that pokes up. Its a beautiful place to watch a sunset, as you can see! Tomorrow I start my first day at Kennecott Utah Copper, probably lots of riveting safety and new miner training. In other words, lots of "this is what happens when you don't look both ways" (and with 340 ton haul trucks running around, theres a good reason for that), "heres where you find so and so", "don't get on even a step ladder without the proper fall-protection-equipment", and hopefully coffee. Not that I'm a cynic, but safety is very important in mining! Anyways, I hope to have lots more pictures like this one this summer. Enjoy! Love you all!-Walter B.

That is some beautiful part of the country. You are going to keep those leg muscles in shape going up those mountains. Sounds like you could teach the course in mine safety. Coffee=Staying Alert, I can see the connection.
That's a great picture! I love how it is framed. (It's espessially good for not being crooked.) Have fun at safety class - I have to observe one today - Just want to make sure my contractors don't have any questions. I don't think we will have coffe though!
Very nice. Sounds like quite a hike too! Be safe and have fun on your first day!!!
Do they sell sea monkey bait at the local tackle shop?? Maybe those mini bananas?
I remember when I ordered sea monkeys from the back of the Highlights magazine. I was so excited to get my new pets, and so disappointed when I got them and found out I couldn't teach them to do tricks. (This was quite a few years ago when I was even more gullible than I am today).
