Every day you eat salt, but did you ever wonder where it came from?
There's a good chance that the salt on your fries came from Newark,
California.
As you near the cache, look to your left, behind the tall salt
refinery building you will see Morton's salt piles. The piles are
each 90 feet tall and contain up to 700,000 tons of 99.5% pure salt
collected from the evaporator ponds nearby in the bay. These piles
are the end of a three month harvest process that was the end of a
5 year solar evaporation process. When the pile gets small as it is
now in late 2003, you know that harvest time is coming. You can
read about it at the Cargill Salt
page.
To find this cache, you DO NOT need to go on the other side of
the barbed-wire fence surrounding the cooling pond.
Please maintain the cache quality.
Trade up, trade even or don't trade. No Cachetrash!
