Gee, guys - it's all okay - they're racing!  See, they even made a movie about it . . .

This week, last December, the ball was in our court.  We were told we'd have a plan by mid January. 

Then we lost control of the message, and the BLM capitalized on it.

The iron's cold now.

Article in Car and Driver I just saw. Guy came out to observe, help. Looked at the conditions and then drank the Brenda Bowen kool aid about what used to be and the studies. What Subaru.

Might have been better for our cause if Lattin hadn't said "the salt is pretty good this year", but I'm sure some of it was edited for their point of view but he did say that.
The professor says the salt has always been a "thin" crust. Conveniently ignoring the past studies and reports. She's alluding to the fact that the salt South of the hi-way came from that side and belongs there.

Would it  do us any good to establish one of those funding sites to have put together a good quality presentation (as theirs is but factual) to post on Facebook, youtube, etc? I'm sure there are reports,films, pictures or videos of how thick or large the flats used to be.
Years ago I've seen salt buckles way down and off course where the crust was inches thick and now some think a half inch is good.

 My rant for this time

Ron

Example: on Sid's last video posting, the host says the salt was from 4 to 30 inches thick.

Wow! What a terrific idea!
People spread their goals, needs and causes worldwide on those things.

I don't know how long it has been there or how many others have missed it but I sure feel stupid for missing it. I always just go to the new posts without looking around the site. Just glancing at the Car and Driver banner in the upper right corner I just thought it was an advertisement. Was I ever wwwwwwrrrrong.
If anyone else has missed it, go read it. Articles like that out in 72 and Intrepid and U of U studies still maintain they're not doing any harm.

Between the new EPA and Dept. of Interior directors I'm feeling more hope than I have for a long time.

I might see it from another view point.  These people seem to be all about mineral extraction,

Technically, it's called 'mining' as in liquid or brine mining. Maybe at some point too much soil in the brine will have an effect on future mining. http://www.intrepidpotash.com/

So-called "conservationists" are always running around flailing their arms, claiming that the sky is falling. Good grief- how could the Bonneville situation be made much worse than it is already?

How about more canals for brine harvesting?
