Did they tell you the edge of the salt is wherever they dig deep and wide trench's so they can mine it easier.

I sent them a message & told them it was like taking the last slice of bread from their dying grandmother. :evil:

Or, the last beer from the beer box when you are at the 6 mile and your driver has set the record.

Don't ask me how I know. Just mark me as thirsty.

It's normal that when someone takes something from any sort of protected area they leave themselves open for prosecution. I would think that when they blatantly advertise that they're doing it for profit maybe they're leaving themselves open whether anything actually happens or not. :evil:

I decided that this thread would be the place for these attached videos.  I got them from Ron Main today.  They came from a crew filming a cell phone commercial on the salt.  Looks pretty good, doesn't it?  Both videos are less than 30 seconds long - so look fast!



This one shows a horse (used in the commercial) cantering from one person to another - right through the camera's field of view.  I sure don't see any signs of the horse finding wet and mushy salt.  Do you?

Thanks for the video.

In video #2 that's one horsepower... it was about a 12 second run, wonder what the distance was...could be a record! :)

I thought that when we left in Oct that the salt was under water. Why buy it when you can spend a lot of effort, run on it and then bring it home?
