At the Badwater Basin stop I seen images of the large spanning salt flats and began to wonder how this playa could have this much salt but not racetrack playa where the moving rocks are located doesn't. Although the playa was once a lake I wonder if it was more of a lagoon that was closed off by encasing mountains. Not only is it the lowest point in America, but it also is comprised of many minerals found in the ocean. I would need to look at the surrounding rock formations to see if I could find evidence of where the opening could of been that would lead to the ocean.
