My husband played the lake Peignuer video for me a few days ago. Absolutely wild!
Thank you. The amount of misinformation these days on FR is disheartening. Totally unlike 20 yrs ago.
corn snow?
ANFO? Interesting. I would have thought Semtex or another plastic.

See my post that landed 27 seconds after yours.
I grew up there and never got the opportunity. I think they did tours when I was a kid.
Did they forget about the Solvay mine by Syracuse, NY?
They only pull 10,000 tons of salt a day out of the Syracuse mine. They pump water from Lake Ontario into the mine, let it dissolve salt, then pump if back up and spray it onto evaporation flats where it loses the water and can be scraped up with construction equipment.
The mine is 2,300 feet down, 7 miles long and opens up into a chamber that is 1250 ft from bottom to top. The salt pulled up is about 2 million tons per year.
That’s eerie!
Two leaks.... so far. Could not pay me enough to go down there.
Right after Guam flips over.
Lithium is often found in salt deposits. I wonder how much is there. Often minerals lacking in the U.S. are only lacking because the U.S. won’t allow locally destructive extraction techniques.
Lots of salt mined around south east Lake Huron.
Goderich Ontario

Do you know the Goderich mine? I’ve been underground in many mines over the years and actually worked at the Goderich one for about 4 months in the late 70s when it was called Sifto Salt. Everything that was said about the Cargill mine is almost identical with the Goderich mine. I see the map shown in post 4 calls it the Great Eastern Salt Basin and it combines the salt basin under Michigan with it... In the 70s, it was my understanding that the salt bed in Goderich was part of the ‘Michigan Salt Basin’ and essentially the mine in Goderich was just another part of the same bed of salt that Windsor Salt and Detroit Salt were mining from.
That was a better time... before the insanity of non-profits rewarding inappropriate behavior with cash and perks...
“Back to the salt mine”
Finally one place where a worker can tell the truth when he says to the waitress when she asks if he wants a piece of apple pie after his lunch:
“No thanks. Gotta run. It’s back to the salt mines.”
Under the omnibus bill, 15% of snow must be made from corn.
