2 of 3 on 8/8/08: Dividend, Utah

In the afternoon, Colin, Ian, Mom, Ninny, Grandpa, and I went for a drive to Eureka, Utah and Dividend, Utah. Dividend used to be a mining outpost outside of Eureka, but it has long been defunct. There isn't much story to tell here. There are pictures, though.
There were lots of dilapidated buildings.
Here are the water towers. They say "Tintic Standard." I believe this was the name of the mining company.
It was a bit dangerous walking around, because there were many nails sticking out of old boards.
There were large piles of sulfur-smelling mine tailings.
My Mom said it was poetic when I said this thing looked like a dinosaur.
I don't know about poetry, but it was a cool trip. Both times I have been to Dividend, I have not seen another soul. It is a great drive to take if you are looking for a unique trip near Utah County.
