GOLDEN SPIKE NATIONAL PARK, UTAH







"Oh you are one of those people," said John Ott when we told him we were touring the earthworks. He doesn't understand the draw (though people were there from Italy earlier this week) - "a waste of gas to move a bunch of rocks around" to be precise.

A high five at the trains seemed appropriate. However, champagne would have been my first choice. Did you know that France is planning an expansion of the Champagne area? Check it out here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90309559
(Thanks Mark for mentioning this the other day I was thinking of it while picking out your postcard.)

The smell of the smoke coming from the trains was nothing I'll ever forget. Nor is the wisdom of John Ott, "whatever you do, use good judgement." John you would have been proud of us at Sun Tunnels! We really played it on the safe side and didn't have to call you for a tow. Or wake you up at 4 am. Thanks for all the information, the stories of "those" visitors in search of earthworks, and your advice.
