Another Avis trip to Belgrade for Avis: A military train of big trucks.  There may have been a few Humvees too, but I didn’’t see any tanks or such. Between Cascade and Ulm the Dust hit…all the cars went from 80MPH to about 30MPH.  It was a spooky 20-30 seconds, then out of the Dust! […]

A quick peak at a bit of the motive power for the Kalifornia High Speed Rail Money Pit! Actually, this is one of my favorite photos.  It is from 2010 at the Union Pacific Railroad Station/Museum in Ogden, UT.  An old engine is dire need of a lot of restoration! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! …Now, at […]

A few more from this evening!: Looking West after the sunset. Looking East at the stars. Another view of our street in panorama form, […]

Day 26001! Happy New Year!

Friday, January 2, 2026

This fine (well, wet and rainy, mostly) New Year’s Day we departed from /\/\onTana! on our almost annual trip to snowbird in Arizona.  I previously took the trailer down because we were worried about inclement weather…most forecasts showed LOTS of snow, which has not, as of today, arrived.  They did not show the big windstorms […]

They have to wash the windshield sometime!  And while I did not notice it here, when the Grand Critters and I went down there a couple weeks later, the turntable this track leads to had been removed! ~Curtis in. /\/\onTana! {!-{>
