Hello from near Ithaca and Lake Cayuga. Folks not from here may not
realize that there's a salt mine under the lake. They have dug down
about 2000 feet into a massive salt deposit that underlies most of
this part of the state, and in fact extends to CHICAGO, I think. They
dig salt out at the rate of about two million TONS per year, mostly
for use on roads.
Maybe the local road departments get it a a deep discount.
