We had some “must see” recommendations and they were good. A show about a local con artist of the 1890ties and the narrow track rail road to the White Summit; the train took us even a little bit into Canada. But no steam engine, it only runs on Sundays.
It was a three hour trip, and after seeing so much natural beauty on the way up, we had to fight hard not to fall asleep on the trip down. We reached 3000 feet elevation; lots of snow next to the train and very clear water. The train turned around when it reached the continental divide.
I purposely don’t write about the high cost of Diesel fuel; who wants to remember that; but we spend about half as much as we did before with the fifth wheel trailer.
