Saving the Salt

[robfrey]

It would be nice to be able to monitor salt conditions. Does anybody know how much water is on the salt as of today?

The salt is getting some wind and 90 deg. temps. It will take some time.

Larry Volk was out on the salt Saturday. He reports that there is still standing water at the end of the access road. He drove out and about the end of the dike and towards floating mountain the water is gone.  The salt is still too wet to start course prep, but the temps will be in the mid to high 90's all week long.  At this point it is looking very promising for the Test-N-Tune. Will post some pictures when I get them.

Here are two photos taken by Larry Volk.  These were taken at approximatelyely the one mile on course 2. The first is looking toward the interstate and the second towards floating mountain.

It has to be improving, with the temps I've seen out west the last two weeks.

Any updates?

Chris, Monte posted something within the last few hours about the Test and Tune. Look there.  Wayno

Doesn't surprise me - it's been hotter than the hinges of Hades out there for the last week-and-a-half.

If the long term is anything like the last two weeks, we're golden.

Someone posted a pic on Facebook yesterday of the typical Course #2 location, and it looked GREAT (dry and crusty).

OK!
  Here's an update.  This AM the ding-wa reached out; it was my buddies from Glenwood Springs.
They just HAD to come and see; so their BMWs got a little exercise.
They were at land's end and said the water looked like it went to as far as they could see.

2 hours later, they were at MP 9, and there were  some small potholes with standing water; however the long course seemed quite serviceable.
 Some crusties between MP 01 and 09
I said that we are planning on 3 mile run up to the traps, and 2 or 3 for shutdown.
They said there are still MP markers in place, and cones.

  Weather turkies are saying 3 digit highs for 6 of next 10.
With a little wind; we should not lose sleep over the future conditions.

   Regards, stay SAFE
