On the way to Sturgis this year, I stopped by the Bonneville Salt Flats. I have always wanted to go out on the salt and now was a perfect opportunity.
The Utah Rocket Club hosts an annual rocket launch called "Hellfire," think of it as a Vertical Speed Week. The first rocket that I saw launched went 16,000 ft high, pretty incredible. Out on the salt the distances, the flatness, the whiteness, were just overwhelming, throw in a few rocket launches and it was an unforgettable day.

Hey Ray, regarding the corrosion, there should be a local high school club washing salt off cars and stuff. Pay them extra so you can wash it yourself and go to town at every angle, TRUST ME!! And i think stopping by the salt flats was my idea :)) glad to know you took advantage of it. Windover is a beautiful and strange town and the flats are the fastest place on earth. Enjoy good freind,
Sincerly,
