We 3 were going to bike together but with the rain, we decided to be regular tourists. We drove north in Joe's truck to the Hutchinson Salt Mines and took a fabulous underground tour at a depth of 650 feet where the temperature was a dry constant 68 degrees. The salt from this mine is used to melt ice and dissolve cars all over the US. The mined out areas are used to store all kinds of valuable things including: government documents; original prints of films (see Dave near some); Hollywood movie costumes; and all sorts of other valuable "stuff" -- eg., financial records from companies, etc. The picture of Joe and Bev is taken in one of the mined out rooms.
