The Salt Mines
After a week of working in the proverbial law mines, I spent my weekend camping in the salt mines (literally!)
But first, lets recount what else happened in the week since I last updated on things.
Saturday a week ago, I think I did something I meant to remember and blog about, but thats far too long ago to remember at this point. d=
Sunday, however, Alex had a dinner party, made lasagna and had a bunch of people over. It was quite pleasant.
During the week I've been working at this law firm near downtown Irvine. As I mentioned, the coffee machine exploded, taking with it the walls and floor. I'm hoping they're done repairing the wall by Monday.
On Wednesday Hannah and I realized we worked near eachother and met for lunch.
And on Friday night Hannah had some people over so I hung out with them for a bit.
The Salt Mines!
Which brings us to the salt mines. Mum and I went up to Searles Lake, which is about four hours NE of here, between Death Valley and the China Lake Naval Weapons Test Range. The lake is mostly dry and hosts several different mineral mining operations.
The occasion was the annual "gem-o-rama," where they let tourists come and muck about for minerals. We visited the blow holes and scavanged for various minerals, and on Sunday we visited the brine pools (where people were also looking for minerals).
Lacking a digital camera, I went through three disposable cameras, so I will have pictures ...eventually. d=
Returning from the salt mines, I once again went to dinner at Alex's.
