I read a post on Spankbook a few weeks ago that said something about only 3/4" of "good" salt.  It did rain after that though.

And it's open to the public and the media -- after all.  At first the meeting was to be closed door but BLM changed the rules to allow everyone in.

So the BLM had a moment did they?
I'd-a gone down there if I knew it was open to the pee-on's.
I'm interested to hear if there's anything worth hearing! :roll:

don't you make jaunts now and again down to see how Mr is progressing in his recovery from his sad 2015  illness?  Observations?  Guesses?
Any thoughts?

BTW:  I have high appreciation and full confidence in the talents of the great group of people who are actively engaged in long-term salt saving.
But the near-term condition is also very "interesting" to me  :cheers:

While they were in the area, did anyone swing by to check out the condition of that salt? Drying out? Still under water?  :?

There is no normal.

That's not too much to go away in 3 months.

Thanks Stan.  I'm a bit far away for me to pop up to Utah and take a look.

It's been raining like a MF (mo-fo, not what you are thinking) here in Texas this spring and i was hoping it wasn't doing the same thing in Wendover

Once it dries out I'll go down & repeat what I showed you last year so we can all see if there is any difference.

Looking forward to what you find Sid...
