Kennecott Mill Monday 27^th July

We crossed over the footbridge again and got a lift from some rangers to the mine site itself. Many of the buildings are preserved with a few exceptions but the main building is an impressive fourteen stories high climbing up the side of the mountain to process the ore.

 

The story of the building of the railway to service the mine is fascinating and worthy of a check on the internet (to which I have very limited access....spare a thought for those people in remote areas of UK let alone world wide).

Internet connections are few and far between and weak that I am not able to load photos and with connections so weak that text can be lost. There have been a few long drive days back to back so at present I am on the Canada / Alaska border at Stewart / Hyder with tomorrow camping in Francoise Lake and then Jasper which should have some decent internet so I my be able to catch up with current events there.
