Why mining is fun for me....

In the Frank Church Wilderness area near Salmon, we used to roll rocks off the tops of the mountains. It was fun to watch them crash down the hillside. My friend Shane was great to have around because he is freakishly strong and can move big rocks. He would be impressed with the work we did at the mine yesterday.

We rolled a 2 giant rocks off the endwall because they were too big for the shovel to load. The rock in this video is about as big as a full-size pickup. It broke in half part way down the wall. It was great to watch.

This is what Eli said when he watched that:
"Whoa. Cool."

I said the same thing as Eli. I'm in college.
