Nemocon Salt Mine

Fossil of a Mastodon in the museum of the Salt Mine of Nemocon
In the salt mine, this narrow channel of water used to serve as a way to transport salt throughout the mine. The salt was loaded into a device similar to a wheel barrel that attached to the sides of the channel of water where it was then moved to it's final destination. The buoyancy of the water helped to reduce the physical force required to move large loads of salt.

These salt crystals form throughout the mine and based on their size and density, the miner can estimate the age of the crystal.

I found this to be the most interesting part of the salt mine. Throughout the mine, water acts as a mirror and reflects images that tower above it. In this case, you can see the reflection clearly of the bridge and arched entrance.

Back at home trying to teach the Hennigan and Khushalani babies about Buffalo Sabres Hockey, as we watch the game from Michael's laptop. Much to my disappointment, Paige was more interested in the game than Aryan. Aryan cannot sit still for any length of time, he has now discovered that he loves being mobile. No more stationary chairs or sitting on laps unless their is an activity happening. Mommy has become a human swing, which is not great on the back, but Aryan loves it.
