@ai6yr is it a salt lake when it forms? There’s gotta be a ton of salts in that soil!

ai6yr,

@donkeyherder Ultra, ultra salty.

@ai6yr @donkeyherder Very salty, plus other minerals and such. We were there about 10 years ago with much less freestanding water than there is now.

Badwater Basin salty/dirty ground cover, with a hole in it to reach the water.
Chunk of salty minerals.
GPS alone water hole. Elevation shows -270 feet.

@ai6yr I really need to get out there soon to see it. My parents were at the overlook yesterday and said it's grown a bunch compared to a few weeks ago when they were there.

ai6yr,

@douglasvb Oooh, cool, vast inland ocean ;-)
