The salt mines

It was just another day at Cedo where for today's trip we went to the local salt mines to learn a little about  how salt is gathered. Salt mines are mainly in locations were salty water was once abundant, and now that the water is dried up, only salt is left.

Now one that a salt mine would be like any mine right, just be some sort of cave in a mountain. Well that's actually wrong in this case as a salt mine is on the surface covering a lot ground and made up of huge stones like a quarry.

The salt mine was kind of like a farm only you farm salt not vegetables, and it's government protected. Their were also a few wet area of the area so you couldn't walk everywhere.

Their are a few natural springs at the salt mine which attracts animals to the area. A lot of the area of the mine contain concentrated pools of salt that were form do to a little help from rain water.
