I tried using Google Street View to find a view of the Great Salt Plains Lake or the salt plains themselves, but it was difficult. The best I could do is below. You can see the white of the salt plains in the distance. News flash: this part of Oklahoma is flat. Click on the map link and then the "Earth" image to see what this place looks like from on high.
This is a unique place; it's a salt lake, a wildlife refuge, and you can "mine" the area for either selenite (gypsum) clusters of blades of selenite that have an hourglass shape visible inside them (
like the one shown here).
Happy birthday, USA, and all the great places in this country!
