Friday was our day at the salt mines! David and Stacy drove us along with the two boys. We went 650 feet under! It was fascinating. Ok I admit, I am a geologist geek. When I was small, I used to say “I want to grow up and be a geologist” What kind of kid says that?
Here's right before we went 650 ft down under
Here I am mining for salt - haha.
They keep lots of important records and Hollywood movies down there because the salt keeps things dry, it’s cool, and no earthquakes or tornados could ruin documents down there. I even saw a newspaper from the day after President Lincoln was shot! We went out to eat at a Mexican buffet with the unlikely name of the “The Anchor”.
Here is the original superman suit!
And here's that newspaper the day after Lincoln was shot. Pretty good condition? I bet you won't look that good after a 100 yrs. :)
Lots and lots of canisters full of Hollywood films...
Once home, we relaxed until it was time to head out for the Keith Urban concert. We had really high seats horizontal from the stage, so it was REALLY LOUD. I think my ears are permanently changed. J I’m afraid I didn’t enjoy the concert very much because I was super exhausted and slightly grumpy. Anything related to the media generally makes me discontent and full of turmoil especially right now. But it was still quite an experience I would not have missed.
