5/5/06 Here we are at in Garland, UT. The pools are fed by hot springs and maintained at 98 degrees.......Hot tubs at 120 degrees.............nice! Ralph and plan to golf later this week. Fore!5/6/06 Day trip to Golden Spike National Park was fun.
The final spike was driven at Promontory Summit on 5/10/1869 so they are having reenactments of the ceremony. Here are some pictures.
Gold and silver spikes were placed in the ties. The actors put on a good show. I dig this stuff. The ceremony commemorates the completion of 1,776 miles of track linking Sacramento, CA to Omaha, NB. It was thought that this would take 12 years to complete as rails had to be shipped around the Cape Horn.
The project took 5 years to complete exactly 100 years before the moon walk!
