Great tour and close! Not many working mines where you can go 650 ft below surface. Wife won’t do it, I recommend it highly, as well as the Cosmosphere!
Huge supplier of road salt around the country
Pretty common, but my folks lasts longer than that on farm well.
Figured the city would have gone to an RO system to filter that salt out, but that's a pretty good investment for a city that size.
Another note but, I lived in Meade, Ks. they had a lot of underground Electrical power lines, and owned there own Power Company. I went thru three winters there and as far as I can remember was never out of Power. Now in Western Okla. we are out of power at least 10 times per year at any time the wind blows. The wind was notoriously blowing in Western Ks. lots more than Here in OK. Seems like a lot of Kansas small towns are well prepared and ran very well. A lot of sharp mechanically inclined people live in rural Ks. towns. Great State in my OP. Your comment on water made me think of Old Meade, KS. memories. thanks.
The windy states really need to go underground with their utilities. We lost a wooden barn full of hay bales because the power lines contacted in a high wind creating sparks that set the grass on fire. Nothing left but a foundation now.
