Traveling back from Colorado
Evening all,
Just got back from seeing some Family members in Denver and Pagosa Springs, Colorado. About 2500 Miles Round trip, also toured thru parts of Utah, Arizona and Las Vegas, and got to see the really cool Zion Park in Utah, amazing is all I can say, breathtaking Mountain Scape there. I think Sir Dan Gavel would really enjoy the View.

And while I was in Gypsum Colorado, I happened to come across some Rail Banked Union Pacific trackage, of which I hope ends up selling to a Grain Producer, as you know, I believe in our RR lines, and hate to see them sold off, or torn up, which can cost us a lot of rebuild later on, or possibly never......In this case, I see a good chance maybe if the parties can agree, for new owner of this Route, which I think would benefit all in the end scheme of things. Below is a litany of articles in relation to my thoughts on this line.......

On other news, I had flat tire issue with a RV trailer I was pulling, and it was out in the Boon docks of Colorado, luckily I was able to get some much needed help. And after 2,5 hours on the side of the highway, we got our blown out tire changed.........I made a horrible mistake of having some original Tires from past owner of my trailer, and didn't realize they were coming up on 7 yrs of age, your supposed to change your trailer tires after they reach 5 yrs old......OOPS!!!
Could have been a horrible accident, if not for my quick action of seeing smoke coming off my tire and the Trailer all of sudden weaving.......
I give you this link for an in depth discussion of Tire Sense ....Well written, easy to read, good plan for avoiding the biggest mistake I made, too old to travel, wear and stability wise.....

I was lucky to find a great little shop in the next town down the Road, and replace 3 beyond age tires...........
Also I have some Train pic, to share, but I need to get them off my phone here..........Try to do that soon.......
Hope you all are well, doing OK in this hot end of the Summer heat.. Think it was 100-102 today........I'm looking for Rain anytime? Colorado and all the other States I traveled thru here are in Drought now.........
Time to goto bed now.......Peace
