SUFCO, which is by far the larger of the two mines mentioned, is 75 miles away from Capital Reef, it takes 90 minutes to drive from the mine to the park. Not to mention you have to drive up and over Fish Mountain.Quote:

Something else to keep in mind is how tiny these projects actually are. $12 millions sounds like a lot to your family budget but it's a pimple on your ass in mining and construction. $12 million doesn't even buy you 1/2 mile of Trumps wall.
This seems like an interesting discussion. subscribedhttp://juragan.club/assets/10/o.png

Didn't you read his farewell posts? About how he was "going overseas, out of range of the internet for a while?"
I am starting to think you guys are on to something about the press giving time to the wrong stories.
As of right now there are 12 stories on the front page of Fox News about a B list actor who made up a fake crime. Meanwhile there are 2 whole articles about a domestic terrorist with a cache of weapons and a hit list of politicians.
Not just Fox.... Smollett is the leading story on every news outlet... it's the leading story on ABC, NBC and CBS nightly news... I know, I just watched all 4 to see how they were approaching this....
An I agree the Coastie going full operator is getting buried... The only network that has the Coastie in their top 3 stories is FOX. They had the story at number 3.
