12. Bonneville Salt Flats

Was nearly ruined by potash mining, all done with brine pumping. The racers mounted a years-long campaign to pump the salt back to the flats after the potash was extracted. "Save the Salt" worked with the BLM and the mining company for years to make this happen, and so far, it's working well - bringing back a 1/2 " of "good" salt per year.
