bus built up a maze of salt pinnacles
resembling tie- stalagmites of a
'ave. S mi" of those pinnacles stick
up to a heiiiht of three feet, and ail
are as hard as concrete.
To drive the car through these, i!
was necessary to cut a path with
picks and shovels, a task which re
quired eiuht hours for the trip. Simi
larly, as it was necessary for the
liiolorists to camp overnight, the salt
pinnacles had to be cut oil to make
possible the placing of a sleeping
cot.

of good measure an extra thousand
feet feature entitled "What a Differ
