Start of trip
Today is the start of our honeymoon. We left Flint for Detroit and from Detroit to ...
BURRRR!!
Greetings from Michigan. I am back in the continental US and let me tell you, I had quite a flight. Now the flight there was long, but I had a room to sleep. This one was from HELL! Lets just say that there were so many people on there that it was so hot ...
Where the Rails Meet
History became reality for a moment when I visited Promontory Utah. Two trains meet one from the west and the other from the east. Where the two meet a golden spike was hammered into the maple rail. ...
The Beauty of the West Desert . . .
We decided to take a day and spend it driving along the old roadbed west of the park. We actually traveled almost 100 miles west into NV and had lunch late in the afternoon…. One of the long time residents, Mike and his wife Margaret offered last ...
There's plenty of Time to Play . . .
Part V Over the past few days, we've been cleaning the Locomotive Barn and preparing for winter. Part of the tasks have included washing and using a floor scrubber to clean the floor… In the process we’ve opened the valve on the ...
The tip of the Iceburg..or mountain....
As Promised, the trip home was more than I bargained for! I managed to get on the road at a decent time...no coffee yet and I think that the next week of coffee detox will be a hard one. I got to the ferry to get Vicki and we headed to the market for out ...
Packing 101
After a week of using the spare room as a travel closet, I can happily say that I am PACKED! A huge thank you to Claudia for her European packing tips and to Brandy for being honest when something is not flattering! Thanks friends! The only problem is ...
On the road
We wanted to get as much mileage as we could on this first day so we decided to leave my house at 2:00 in the morning. This as we all know is pretty early. It didnt help the situation that Jenn and I had our first major family function at the ...
Playing with trains . . .
Part II Sunday morning found us running the heater and when we turned on the water we noticed it was a small trickle of a stream… looking at the outside thermometer we found that it had gotten to 24* last night, at least 8-10* colder than ...
Back to reality
This trip was perfect. We missed the coldest week of the winter. The temps were dropping as wel flew out a week ago and we narrowly missed a big storm coming in. Now that we are back into town the temps have been rising to meet us! I ...
Golden Spike's Closing Encore of the Season . . .
Part IV Over the past couple of blogs we've talked about the locomotives. Golden Spike is really in the middle of no where… the rails were removed for the war effort (WWII) but the road bed still extends almost 100 miles west and 30 miles ...
what to pack...take it all...
Who knew that packing was a contact sport....good thing that I am going to visit a few chiro friends while there....I may need an adjustment after lugging my moster suitcase......who doesn't take like 5 pairs of shoes??? Keep watch and I'll give you a ...
Taking off
Jenn's parents took off at 6:00 in the morning, the same time we were supposed to but we ended up having our flight changed to the ...
Packing for 2 weeks!
I can only take 50lbs? What about my shoes? I have helped Marlin pack for all of his trips and he seems to have it down pat, but boys can wear the same thing over and over. I have been told that the weather is a tad hot (80+) and humidity is a bit much. ...
Golden Spike . . . back again for more!
We rolled into Golden Spike early Saturday afternoon and started to say hi to old friends, met some new ones… got our RV into our space and set up…. Ready for the evening… Rowdy even sniffed out and alerted on ...
Day 38: Golden Spike National Historical Site
On the way into Utah we saw a sign for Golden Spike NHS and decided to stop. There was not much to see on the drive leading up to Golden Spike. The landscape was hilly, maybe mountainous, and dry. We did drive past a rocket facility ...
