    I did not, but I took the liberty to assume the huge indoor lake with rowboats in it may have had something to do with that.

    Joking aside, I don’t know if that was natural or a byproduct of mining, but there is a lot of water in there, to the point where there are salt stalactites all over the place and everything is covered in a thin layer of goopy brine. The entire place looks… slick.

    Like I said, it’s a sight.
