Day 300

Day 299: Back to the Stable!

Tuesday, November 2, 2010

This is outside my cabin at the Montpelier Creek KOA.  It was beside a creek, near the office and restroom/shower, and when I pulled in the night before the stars went on forever!  I forgot a shirt there. <<sigh>> (All photos by Nikon Coolpix L11) Then it was up the road and down the road, […]

Day 298

Monday, November 1, 2010

Then it was back into the desert…well, a run up the Interstate into Wyoming, then a turn north towards Yellowstone… I always have my riding buddy along…come to think of it, he is a bit hard to find when I ride at night or in the rain.  Darned fair weather riders! The first view of […]

Day 297: The Heber Creeper!

Monday, November 1, 2010

In Heber, Utah, is a small tourist train called the Heber Valley Railroad, or the Heber Creeper for short.  It runs down and around a big lake to a well known park, then, after lunch, it returns.  I road it once years ago, and I posted a little about it on The Great 1998 Goldwing […]

Day 296: Helper to Heber…

Monday, November 1, 2010

After leaving Helper I ran up the road, and turned right at this old coal/cement/something-or-other plant. Then it is back into the desert and up the hill again! Then out of the desert and up into the trees… “On Top ‘O the World Again, Ma!”  Whew! Then down through the forest! Down into the desert! […]

Day 295: Helper!

Sunday, October 31, 2010

I chased some coal trains through some desert looking country, and ended up in Helper, UT. Named for it’s function, Helper is where the “helper” engines would help push trains up over the summit, quite a substantial grade to climb.  The railroad is still important to Helper, but with the coming of the diesel locomotive, […]
