Here in Winnamucca
On a map of Nevada the old mining town of Winnemucca is at the place where Interstate 80 turns southwest toward Reno. Barry and I arrived here at about 3.00pm PST after driving 8 hours from Salt Lake City.
On the way, we passed by the south shore of the Great Salt Lake, which according to a local guide is over four time as salty as the ocean. Further west, the salt flats are literally caked with salt for thousands of square miles. At one point Barry (who was driving the Jeep) pulled over and we tasted it. Sure enough - it was almost pure salt as far as the eye could see.

Did it look like you could pretty much scoop it into a Morton's box?
