On toward ABQ Balloon Thing September 26, 2014, 09:58:04 pm Yahoo Message Number: 148711So I leave Portland just ahead on one strong weather system coming in from Alaska - got caught in Bend, Or ..... Managed to outrun it knowing it would catch me in Crystal Crane Hot Springs. Spent the first night soaking and enjoying the hot springs but second night not so lucky, yup weather system dumped on us. Packed up this morning heading toward Winnemucca, NV. Good driving on a very lonely highway.... Once in Nevada speed limits jumped from 55 to 70. So tonight I had a plan to head toward Ely, NV. Yup I'm lucky a very nice strong weather system is blowing across Northern California heading straight were I planned to spend a few nights. The plan now unless weather changes its mind is to hole up in Wells, NV for two days to let the system pass. If I go slow enough I will not chance up with it again. Now I'm wondering 'is there any thing to do in Wells except count cars and trucks on the freeway.......Glen

If you are a real enthusiast, you will jump at the chance to drive one of the trains (a few hundred dollars according to my friend, and more if it's coal and steam instead of diesel and electric). We didn't drive one, but what a great tour!Eric Greenwell Tf Hafford [lifewithalazydazerv] wrote, On 9/26/2014 6:57 PM:
