Mine exploration intro, Ophir Hill

[RockRacer]

Thanks for having this event, it was a blast! I think we had a good turn out also. I believe there were about 24 or so people, including at least 6 girls! That is cool. Now to convince mine. There were a good amount of people who had never entered a mine before and Mike put together some awesome pamphlets for us that he handed out during the safety meeting. I had a couple pictures turn out so I wanted to post them.

Mike explaining how important the job of the controller is... (Not sure of the exact title)

This canyon is SOOO beautiful!


Mike explaining the ore chutes...


A couple batteries that were extracted from the mine earlier in the year...


Ingersoll Rand baby! (I have some of their products)

Thanks for the pictures! Looks like this was a fun trip!

Yeah, that was a lot of fun! It was my first time ever in a mine, and hopefully not the last!

[RockRacer]

Wow, some replies, thanks Stuart and Brian.

Brian, why are you saying "hopefully not the last."

I see a future there!

Kurt, have you been to Ophir? How about the BBQ next month, coming?

Yes several times with MU. I was there on the first officially legit trip with Harley and then again a few months ago when we pulled the batter cart out after clearing the tracks. A neat mine for sure. I'm going to try for the BBQ, I've got a lot of stuff going on in the 4x4 scene and its hard to find a free Saturday. We did some exploring last weekend down in Frisco, we were in Delta for the rock-crawl (Carl Whitmore and I took first in the stock class) and then spent a night at Frisco exploring some of the remains there. Seems I've been somewhere in Utah just about every weekend for the past 6 months, a good thing but I need to get out with MU soon!

Oh yeah, Mike and Robert also led a special Ophir trip for a couple dozen customers of mine a few months back, everybody is still speaking about that one!

[Mike]

Kurt, you are the envy of Stuart and I. What we would give to be able to go exploring and adventuring every weekend.

Ya'll will have to join us on our Advanced tip next month to see some more really neat things. We'll likely check out the big casino, wild delirium, and make our way out the emergency exit. Bound to be a fun and exhausting trip.

[RockRacer]

I am with you there as well Mike. I wish I could get out every weekend.

Congrats on 1st place Kurt! I would have to say your pretty much livin' the dream of many. Tell Carl I said hi and that we miss the Carl and Von RockLogic.
