and day 33 and the wind is gone but the rain is here

I should have known better, but I washed the car last night,when we turned off our lights
last night there was blue skies,when we got up this morning rain and fresh snow on the
hills
We are going out to Promontory Summit today with the rain. It worked out just right today
was a reenactment of May 10.1869 when the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads
joined rails to complete the transcontinental railroad and drove the  Golden Spike. This
connected the East & West with 1,776 miles of train track. The Central Pacific had the
harder of the two routes with 15 tunnels thru solid granite working around the clock they
made 8" a day, some of the tunnels were 2,000 ft in length. The Union Pacific with the
easier route across the plains had to deal with Indian raids.They generally don't have both
locomotives out but because of the reenactment they were nose to nose with full head of steam.
The reenactment seamed real with all the people and correct dress and the 2 locomotives
setting there in the rain steamed up nose to nose this was a GREAT stop
From here we headed to Hill Air Force base museum, the air show was cancelled because of
the weather, so there was way to many people inside. They did have a nice collection of planes
inside and out. They did have a very nice P 38 that crashed in Alaska during world war II in the
late 70's they recovered the plane and it got a full restoration.
I believe our NO 3 daughter has been following the blog so I will post  a couple pictures for her
