“Top 5 coolest things I’ve ever done. Going underground was awesome! The employees who took us were very knowledgeable and I always felt 100% safe. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. It’s great to see all the ways they are striving for safety. I’m excited to share what I’ve seen with others and be able to expand on student’s knowledge of the jobs available to them in the future. To be able to have some potash was the icing on the cake. Wow! What an experience!” – Kristin Ward, Dinsmore
