FIRST PART OF OUR ROAD TRIP THE OTHER DAY

On our way to the Fraser Canyon and Highway 1 the other day, Richard and I passed by the Highland Valley Copper Mine which is immense spanning many kilometres.  We had fairly pleasant weather leading up to the intense thunderstorm we later ran into going down Hwy 1.

Can't see how far down they have excavated
