who owns bonnieville?

ive seen pictures and movies and all ,but never heard who the land belongs to.is it state owned?

 

It is owned and managed by the bureau of land management, it's federal property

 

The Bonneville Salt Flats is administered by the Bureau of Land Management. That's part of the Department of the Interior.

Google Bonneville Salt Flats, and there are many sites with the history...

Oops..I type too slow...

You can find some cool stuf by googling Bonneville Salt Flats

 

I'd have to check to be sure but I believe that Packard had an aircraft engine iin it when it set that speed.

 

Those look suspiciously like waves in that photo. Wayno

 

I agree. Most likely Daytona Beach. Unless that photo was taken last august! Nick

 

Wayno, it could have been taken at Bonneville, and what you might be seeing in the background is one of the dikes that the company who mined the salt for its potassium content, built up to channel the disolved salt into their settlement ponds.

But .. it could be Daytona. To bad the picture doesn't say where.

 

Pontiac.

 

This picture is from Daytona. If it was from Bonneville, you'd have mountains in the background. No mountains, and ocean, its NOT Bonneville. Most likely Daytona. This is why they used to have geography classes in high school.

 

Good eye! Everyone missed that!

 

maybe the camera couldnt capture the mountains? I dont know much about cameras but old picture=old camera.

 

The mountains kinda fill up the sky in that area. Hard to miss.

 

I saw waves higher than that on Wednesday, last year!

 

It's on loan from God.
