Jean-Patrick Mally found a sign with his initials.
JP on one of the huge trucks that they use for mining. (I don't think you're really supposed to climb on top like that, but there wasn't anyone around to yell at us.)
Me with a truck that could scoop me right up.
Getting comfy on a big mining scoop.
We visited this Mining museum place in Chisholm, MN. It is about an hour and a half from where I grew up, on the "Iron Range" of MN, but I had never been there before. We had fun! We got to learn all about the mining process. They find iron ore and make it into taconite pellets, then it goes on trains to the harbor where big ships bring it down to Chicago to get melted and whatever. Then we got to go outside and see the equipment and even climb on some of it.
