Geocache Description:

This cache is located near the Goshen Salt Playas, along the highway to Goshen.

I first learned about the salt playas in an ecology class. They are pretty interesting, although more spectacular looking in summer when there is a layer of white salt on the ground. What's really amazing is the plants that grow here, called halophytes because they can deal with the salt. The cache is an ammo box, and most of the original contents more or less relate to the theme, in whatever obscure way. You don't have to trade salty stuff, just cool stuff.

This cache was placed by a member of UTAG.
