extracting salts out of Bristol Dry Lake. If you drive the back way between Amboy and Twentynine Palms, you'll pass the place. Lots of rusty equipment which is just what one would expect when bulldozers and such are driven over piles of salt! But enough business to keep a small post office in operation, I suppose. I wonder if the salt mine workers are paid a "salary" which originally meant, a lump of salt.
