Is it really a salt flat?

In regards to [1] -- I don't think the source is very good, the author has (as far as I can tell) not actually been on the dry lake, or has any other source for it. I think it's likely to be a case of citogenesis. That said, I think the distinction is meaningless, and there are better things to spend time on. I just felt compelled to write this -Cake~talk 22:56, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@C4K3: I have attempted to find a better source and found a book written by Little, Brown and Company, which describes it as a dry lake.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 04:10, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
