Great pics! Did you hear any comments on the condition of the salt flats? I heard that things had been deteriorating because of potash mining over the years, plus wear and tear. I'm not sure if any remedies had been tried.

 Heard from the old timers(that have been there for 40 years or more) was the best salt in 50 years! Even Terry(our driver) couldn't believe the difference from last year. From what I heard the pot ash refinery is helping to save the salt and are somehow pumping the salt back to the flats. There is also a group/groups fund raising to help support the stability of the flats. Picked up a couple of thing to help support the cause.

That is great to hear that the salt flats are improving. Imagine being glad to drive a classic in salt.
