30,000 acres of Utah that was part of an ancient lake basin named after explorer  Captain B.L.E. Bonneville and his 1830 expeditions. 15,000 years ago it was an ancient lake the size of [[Lake Michigan]]. The salt surface contains potassium, magnesium lithium and sodium chloride (common table salt). <ref>[http://www.utah.com/playgrounds/bonneville_salt.htm The Bonneville Salt Flats] Utah.com</ref> A place so flat you seem to see the curvature of the planet and so barren not even the simplest life forms can exist. Today, it is a world famous automobile race point. The world record land speed set there was Gary Gabolich's rocket car the "Blue Flame", attained 622.4 miles per hour in 1970.
