La Sal del Rey

I love exploring a new place, and that's what I've been doing since I moved to the Rio Grande Valley.  This weekend's explorations ended at La Sal Del Rey, a natural salt lake that was mined into the 1930's and still holds nearly four million tons of salt.  This weekend, La Sal Del Rey was mostly salt and soggy lake bottom with little water, which made for a wide-open expanse of nothingness. I liked it.
