Good old fireside chat, page-8558

Ok now I'm back from the Moab brewery here are the promised pics

1st pic shows the brine containers and pipes from Gold bar along the Cane Creek site boundary fence


this pic shows the brine storage tanks and the well head. Notice the heavy yellow blocks to hold the pipes down incase something happens with the pressure cap. Pipes go off directly from the well to both the brine ponds and the brine storage tanks. Pic also shows the stunning beauty of the area


Pic of the brine concentrating in one of the storage ponds. Note the earth berm behind which would be pushed back to make room for the pilot/production plants.

Pic of the containment pond (separate from the brine ponds) and note the earth berm behind again and the stunning scenery


Pic of the brine pond and containers

Pic of the pipes to the ponds

Pic of the well head and gauges with the brine ponds to the left and the containment pond to the right (currently empty)

Pic of the Westco drill rig up on the hill at Long Canyon. This pic was taken from the truck on the way back out from the Cane Creek site but it was visible from the site


Pic of the Intrepid Potash ponds from Dead Horse State park look out (just down the road from Cane Creek and where Thelma and Louise drove their car off the cliff in the movie!)


Has been wet in Moab since Saturday afternoon and we drive off for Page AZ and the Grand Canyon tomorrow.
Hope you all like the pics of the Cane Creek site. The whole Moab area is stunning (but very busy with tourists) and no I didnt do the hells revenge 4x4 track, but Ken told me he has done it numerous times....nuts!
