P.S. It'll be our "little secret." I won't tell anybody how you were wiggling around on the tailgate of that wagon!

Re: Salt from the Bonneville Salt Flats, What to do with it?

Eh, keep the salt, I have plenty here.

LOL I couldn't help clicking on keeping the salt.

The money helping the site is a good idea.

Re: Salt from the Bonneville Salt Flats, What to do with it?

Personally I think this is an awesome idea...i for one would love to have some salt from Bonneville Salt Flats...especially since I will probably never see it for myself...

I think Mike and Andy are awesome for doing this...and I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that more folks haven't voted.....

Re: Salt from the Bonneville Salt Flats, What to do with it?

Since not everyone gets to go on a road trip how about send the road trip (sand) to a member? Then that member posts his/her picture with the sand and location, Makes a donation then sends it to the next member that Pm's their address then repeat.

Re: Salt from the Bonneville Salt Flats, What to do with it?

I too am a little disapointed that more have not voted. Sorta shocked actually.

45K members and a handful voted? Sad. Lame.

I saw the post right after it came up, and also voted before I read it. Then when I did read it I wished I could change it, as my vote was totally inappropriate, trying to be funny I guess. So I hereby officially ask the Mods to change my vote to "raffle", or (insert sinister laugh) maybe I could vote again?
