The Bonneville Salt Flats: Decline of the Fastest Place on Earth 

It’s a must to build multiple streams of income especially in this period of pandemic. Also have in mind we don’t know if or when another so called pandemic can happen. So now is really the best time to start pushing a side hustle because no one can fire you from your own business and well your 9-5 we all know how quick they can get rid of you. If you have to work to pay bills by all means do what you have to do but make sure you get your priorities together. I've been doing that by investing in the stocks, bitcoin and financial market and I'm grateful to say I've earned a lot so far this month working with a Mr.Nicholas Myron through his registered investment company. Just do something that will make you money whilst you sleep, no matter how little. The pandemic has been a perfect eye opener for us all to really see how life can be without your usual income stream. Reach him via Instagram @nichola__fxtrade

Nice content, but permit me to introduce you a legendary trader who trade for me. I never believed in forex trading but Mr Nicholas make me understand how it works and I give it a try, surprisingly I got my profit of $15,750 I found this honest, I want you all to check Mr Nicholas on Instagram @nicholas__fxtrade tell him I send you.

I think he gets up every day and shits advertisements.

The only time I have ever seen them is while it was all rainy and cloudy out, so while I didn't get the mountain-view background, I did get to see the flats while they looked like a giant mirror!

I cam here to say pretty much the same thing. I drive by all the time on my way to Wendover.

not been to utah in well over a decade but went there many times from Cali in the 80-00's.....they went from beautiful white to an ugly grey the last time i went about 15 years ago

@@Iroxinping I have been going there since the late 1980s and every year it gets worse and worse from leach mining.

Am I the only one unable to read wendover without thinking wendigo?

So . . .Don't wear anything on your bum instead? 🤔😳

@@BA-gn3qb nah maybe a bit poorly worded. Wear tight pants or leggings so your skins is covered fully. Though I have seen many running nude and happy so it’s an option

@@juliafreij6220 - Ah. Ok. I see you edited your original comment too. Going full nude wouldn't be an option for me either. An all over tan would be an all over burn very quickly on the salt flats.

Aaaaaand THIS discussion is why I always check the comments.

@@juliafreij6220 A big thumbs up for tight pants.

Definitely a “must watch” for any 2 wheel fan

ItsMeJon any gearhead who thinks he’s exhausted everything there is in the way of “car movies” at that.

That's a great movie.

That movie sucked, big time.

Donkey Slayer oh wow, I found the one guy that doesn’t like the movie. Congrats.

I've been to that event a buncha times!

Been out there a handful of times!

And then a video of Simon doing a lap around the Nordschleife.

Simon you should do this, it’s quite old, survived wars, and has a fascinating history.

As long as we get a list of the cars it's ruined

@@Thumbsupurbum “wow there is a lot of corners on this track” - Simon *mid Lap

*_"Bomb it!"_* -James May

Somebody had to do it!! I came to the comments section looking for a comment like yours.

Literally at the other end of the state!

Every so often we're all that guy, as long as we're not THAT that guy though

I mean it is a video presenting itself as factual. They should be more consistent

@@drumboarder1 amos?

Thanks Now that's what I'm going to hear.

Little known fact: People often associate Donna Reed with cannibalism.

@@TheDoppelgangster But that's only because she gave so many dinner parties.

OMG, I'm glad I'm not the only one!! That's all I could hear!! The show was in reruns in the 90s and I pretty much watched all Nick at Nite shows. I remember Donna Reed very well.

It's very different to the Doner Kebab party.

@JAG "was forced to leave it's channel by the inadvertent actions of men." Sounds engineered to me. The Salton Sea was the result of an engineering disaster.

Everything in Australia is in the middle of nowhere, indeed the entire continent is in the middle of nowhere. 😬

USA have more Salt Flats than Australia. In fact USA is the country with the most deserts (26), sand dunes, geysers, hoodoos, rock formations, badlands, salt flats, canyons, arches, natural bridges, natural pools in the world. USA is also the country with mosr climate zones with 26 of the 30. 2nd place is China with only 18. Australia only have 12. USA also have tropical climate with jungles, wetlands, springs, beaches, tropical forest, waterfalls, palm trees, coral reefs, coastline, etc. USA is also the country with the most volcanoes on earth (180), supervolcanoes (7). Also have Artic climate with Icerbergs, fjords, sounds, Ice Caves, Glacial lakes, glaciers, tundras, rivers. Plus it also have the largest underwater canyon, underwater cave and the deepest point on earth (Mariana Trench). The tallest mountain on earth is also in the USA (Mauna Kea). USA also have the hottest and driest place on earth (Death Valley), sunniest place on earth (Yuma Arizona), least sunniest place on earth (Barrow, Alaska). The largest difference between hottest (56.7 Celsius, which is a world record in Death Valley) and coldest weather ever recorded (-63 celsius, 2nd in the world history) for a world record difference of 119.7 celsius. The largest lake in the world is also in the USA. In general combined total area and exclusive economic zone USA is the largest country in the world. #2 by total area only. IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT HAS IT ALL. By the way I'm NOT American just stating some facts here. I'm from the Dominican Republic.

@@eddiec5202 mariana trench is near japan, its not in the USA. the tallest mountain is mt Everest which is in Tibet. The driest place on earth is in the Atacama desert in chile. the largest fresh water lake by volume is lake biakal, russia. The largest country in the world is Russia.... Your facts are no where near accurate

@@cubiusblockus3973 First of all you seriouly need to learn how to read. THE LARGEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IF YOU INCLUDE EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE in the WORLD is the USA. I later said that the USA is the 2nd largest by total area behind Russia. Learn how to read. Lake Baikal (31,500 Km 2) is nowhere near as big as Lake Superior (82,100 km 2). The tallest mountain in the world is Mauna Kea (10,211 Km) far taller than Mount everest (8,849) Mauna Kea have more than 6,000 Km underwater. Need to learn the difference between tallest mountain (Mauna Kea) and highest point on earth (Mount Everest). Other thing is the Mariana Trench is right in the Marianas Island (US territory), the Mariana Trench is part of the National Monument of the Marianas. Plus you are right about the Atacama being the driest, that was the only mistake I made there. The other things that I said were Facts. Document yourself before saying someone FACTS were not accurate. were NOT where. And I'm not even a English native speaker.

yanks bragging till some one reminds them how small and broken their country is. big gund big mouths big every thing pommies had a word for the yanks over sexts and over here.

The powers that be (BLM, U.S. government) are making money off the mining.

What's the fastest you've even been in a vehicle on land? I've been to around 130 in a street rod, but the driver immediately let off the throttle at that point. I was shaking from the adrenalin and my eyes were watering ftom the nitrous fumes, but it was exhilarating! I can't imagine what 160+mph would feel like but id like to find out! Good luck on your mission!!

Yeah well im going for the land speed record of the fastest bmx with a playing card in the spokes. Yeah ha, front and back wheel !

@@ticopunkerz I've done 120 in a modified Fiat 500 Abarth...on snow tires. Had more to give but 120 on studded snows is skeeeetchy so I pulled back. And now I want go faster in an even smaller car, but with extensive safety modifications and on appropriate rubber. I wouldn't do it of I felt it was too unsafe. The theoretical top speed of the car will be 177, but that's very unlikely on salt.

@@TinyScorpion44 You are certifiable...a certifiable badass that is!! The car I was in was a 1975 Chevy Monza. I don't think I've even seen one since, esp not one with a high hp racing engine!

@@joe18425 Never give up on your dreams!!!

I hope they can restore it. I'm a huge gearhead, and I had no idea the Flats were in such bad shape...

The entire state is mismanaged. If you head just a little bit further southwest from the BSF, you can experience the joy of mutated deer and rabbits at Duway Proving Grounds, and visit the senic nuclar waste dumping grounds thanks to the generous contribution of Energy Solutions Corp. If that's not thrilling enough, then Kennecott Mining's industrial relic as you head towards Tooele and the old Topaz Internment Camp are a thrilling end to the day. Be sure to gtab an N95 mask for your trip back to SLC so you can actually breath the air though - what they call an 'inversion' is actually air pollution so terrible that it sometimes outpaces Shanghai in how thick it is. I don't misd that place.

@Jerry Davis - You mean private industrial contractors maximizing profit.

@@drboze6781 aka government... They have their hand in the cookie jar.

i like the way you think

That's at least like 3 or 4 good soups right there.

Carmelize some onions and add some croutons and cheese and that would be delicious french onion soup!

At least 2 cans of campbells chicken noodle

🤤

Same here.

I'm gonna do the same thing. Ugh.

I would recommend Business Blaze. 10/10.

Lol. Me too. Why is this the best therapy to the stupidity of today!?

Great. With 11 channels you have plenty to binge on.

@JAG Hey dude, Simon even had a helpful subtitle underneath... You can read, yes? I only ask because the reading and comprehension skills of anyone under 30 are usually poor at best.

@@maconp1119 Boomer humor

@@belland_dog8235 its not even that, it was just unnecessary lmao

Is the treasure valley caused by this?

I don't know much about Idaho, I am from Europe, but I think you are wrong. Or at least both things had to happen, overtopping don't explain forming of salt flats. To form salt crust that thick, there had to be a huge amount of water which evaporated.

@@OslikusPrime Lake Bonneville was in a basin that had no output. The overflow broke a natural dam in what is now Red Rock pass but that isn't the reason it dried up. It was still 4700 feet deep after that. The climate getting dryer made the evaporation out pace the amount of water going into it.

@@garretth8224 Yes, that is what I was thinking. I just wanted to say, that overtopping or not, it has nothing to do with forming of salt deposits.

That place should be called the Bonnevilliage

Its neither of those if we can somehow shoehorn the cause as climate change! 🤣

Lol. Nobody is digging up or around the flats. Duh. Kind of funny you arse about this particular mineral extraction, while banging away to do so on something built from carbon/mineral based technology. So woke.

@@HELLRZR-nm3vv It literally takes 20 seconds to look on Google maps and find excavation equipment on the salt flats. Go troll someone else.

It’s disappearing because of the canals you can’t take the natural water flow that evaporated and leaves salt behind, and think you won’t change the environment... humans

@@cybernedlytedlythewise7499 Uh, where do you live in general? Have you ever been close enough to Bonneville to ever view a Red Hat event? Or an incredible sunset literally reflected back at you from the whole of the planet it seems? Just how did you get to be an expert on every environment 'backyard'? In our next good cold snap or mini-glacial. Nobody would remember humans even touched it in a season or two. You and other human business are not nearly as important as you think to this planet. 98% of species that have ever occurred on the Earth are already extinct. We've been here about 2 minutes on a 24 hour Earth time clock. We're just the current top of the evolved keystone species occurring bro. Relax.

Whats the point of preserving it for no one?

@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 This is only true if you believe its value rests on short term service to the human race. Arrogance rarely pays off in the longer game.

@@NomadicLiving I didn't make an assertion, I asked a question.

@@NomadicLiving short term service is better than long term uselessness, or being reserved for the elite.

BLM makes good money off of it. Why would they care? After all the science says it's just climate change

Never EVER ask the government for help. They make things worse... always

Sharing is caring

With the decline of the Salt Flats you're only gonna be able to get Lightly Salted Lays chips

You mean the FLATness of the earth and where it falls off into space?

@@suzykendallosborne haha didn’t know the earth was flat ya goon

@@suzykendallosborne yea we really gotta get the word out my sweet sweet granny sadly fell off the side of the earth last year just stepped right off the side tried to tell her it wasnt round she just wouldn't listen RIP granny she was only 127 yrs young had her whole life in front of her, ik your looking down now saying damn it really is flat 💔 (a single tear rolls down my cheek) damn u flat earth and all those misleading round globes in classrooms they are truly the most evil type of propaganda.

@@jleeblackmon5340 I wish more people knew about this. I rolled out of bed the other night, nearly fell of the edge of the earth. 😱 Terrifying experience.

@@jleeblackmon5340 I’m sorry that happened and I prey for the loss to your fambly. Let’s try to get the word out so more people don’t have to suffer such loss and tradgedy! RIP granny!

also, never trust anyone that loves a Doner.

The cannibalism rumor was shown to have almost certainly not happened.

@@lordgarion514 true or not, either way it was a shitty trip.

@@mnichols1979 True that. About as shitty as shitty gets.

Did anyone else hear him call it “the Donna Reed” party, like the Donna Reed Show from the 1950s?

Thats A lot of salt 🤯

I'll donate my sweat to help keep the salt level up.

Well yeah. Poisoning the environment is bad no matter where its done.

Andrew Gates .... Nice Power Wagon sittin on the ground, it looks good bro...

@@garretth8224 "poisoning the environment" What are you talking about? How is losing salt "poisoning the environment" ?

Your infant, childhood, and early teen years have been very informative.

@Gmail X name something bad a corporation has done, minus pharmaceutical, oil, car, toy, fast food, electronics, video game, and clothing, corporations which don't count.

@@CrypidLore I thought it was satire at first but you made me dismiss that as a possibility.

@@garretth8224 good, because corporations are clearly not evil pieces of garbage that only care about profit. They care about the betterment of the world, and 100% wouldn't burn down an orphanage for money.

@@CrypidLore 🤣😂🤣😂👍

Thrust SSC broke the land speed record in the Black Rock desert not Bonneville

@@sawspitfire422 Indeed. My bad.

@@ABrit-bt6ce That must be a Road Runner. They actually discovered dopler effect thanks to his "beep beep". Problem is, that he kept running and did not return for qualification run. So his record was not recognized.

I suggest you look up the new record attempt due at Hakskeenpan in South Africa.

thats why they put black markers during speed days sat nav ok just a boring white picture.

Try it on a clear night and full moon. You can read a book without a light when its like that.

Restore it to what? Adry lake bed?

Seems grammatically correct

@@dynomar11 there were no horses 900 years ago on the american continents.
