A while back I read Nothing Like It In the World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-1869
. I had been to the site where the two linked together over 50 years ago when my parents drove west on vacation. Our campsite last night was about 100 miles from Promontory Point so we took a little side trip this morning to revisit the historic site.Marlene is checking out the replica of the polished mahogany tie where the golden spices were driven. There were actually 4 spikes driven. One was silver.
After climbing out of the Salt Lake Basin, we headed east on I-80.Late this afternoon, we found another nice boondocking spot on a hill above Rock Springs, Wyoming. We are across the street from a nice residential area. It's very quiet here and feels very safe. It's amazing what you can find when you get off the freeway and explore the back roads.
