Re: [Texascavers] a salt cavern tour
I always thought that mine was in a salt dome into which they'd drilled a couple of wells. Into one they pump hot water and from the other they pump out near saturated brine which is then evaporated. That would make the tour a little more technical --Ediger -- Original message -- From: Don Cooper wavyca...@gmail.com Yeah - I'd like the low sodium tour, please! :-) Alternately, I wonder what it would take to get a job there or otherwise intern.
