Just south of Amboy I noticed several lines of pyramids that extend across Bristol Dry Lake. A brochure from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management explained that the pyramidal mounds are part of two large, active salt mines that produce much of the sodium and sodium chloride used in high school chemistry classes.
