The salt at either end of the course is better described as salty dirt -- maybe a more charitable way of stating it would be dirty salt. But it sure isn't something I'd put on my steak. The course is pretty good in the center area -- but the first mile or two in either direction is cruddy at best. This is the old "international" course -- starting about 200 yards from the freeway a couple of miles up from the truck stop -- maybe about mile marker 7 on I-80. The course runs pretty much north-south. The BNI course crosses the international a few miles up from here. To describe it better -- if Nancy and I were to leave this end and drive the course we'd intersect the BNI course, running from it's start line and coming up to us from behind and crossing over ahead and to the right. The salt there is pretty white.
But there's no question -- you ALL need to write your congressman/senator to ask about the deterioration of the salt, the mining permits, and the way our precious natural resource is being sold. It's going away and there's no question about it. Okay, there's my soapbox rant for now.
