Salt Lake tourists

Today we played tourists. Rodney got to pick out where to go. The first stop was the Salt Lake Art Center. There was a great photo exhibit there and an indoor miniature golf coures that was made by several artists. Each hole was done by someone, all works of modern artists.very interesting and fun.
Just a couple of blocks away was the Mormon Temple, we had to check that out. Wow, a neat place, huge temple, beautiful yards, trees and buildings. We were approached a couple of times by Mormons, starting conversations with us, and asking if we would like more info on their religion, I guess we looked like we needed to be saved!
The next stop was the Kennicot copper mine. Worlds largest open pit mine. It the only man made crater that can be seen from outer space. It started as a mountain in 1900 and now is a hole several hundred feet deep. We took a picture of the roadster next to a big truck tire. Huge tire.
The aquarium in the town of Sandy was next, saw all kinds of exotic fish and marine life, very interesting.
Tonight we visited with Stanley Wanlass, his wife and daughter, Brandy. Stanley is a world renown artist and sculptress. His bronzes sculptures of autos are out of this world. If you don't know about him, just google his name. He owns three steel 32 roadsters that are masterpieces also. One of his coolest sculptures is the 4 foot long "Dago Deuce", boy how I would like one of those! I could by 3 or 4 real nice real deuces for what they sell for, so I don't see one at my home very soon.
Tomorrow are hot rod shop tours.
