I hope you enjoyed this trip with us – or maybe used it as a cautionary tale to do your homework before you load up the car and hit the road. Trains and Railway Attractions Along the Way Knowing not everyone would get a kick out of railroad centered photography and scenes, I opted to relegate them to Bonus Material for anyone interested. (UP 8000 (AC45CCTE) breaching a tunnel opening near Rye Valley, Oregon, August 03, 2014) And not just trains, but train-associated topics like rail-served industry and operations like this classic grain elevator on a cool, moist Bozeman, Montana

Three hours later, we’ve seemed to actually outrun it this time. Unfortunately we’ve outrun it back into the ‘Sturgis Overflow’ area of motel vacancy desert – No Vacancy signs are lit up everywhere. At least we have sunthat we can drive intoas we head back west. (This is the last semi-clear image with the camera – it would seem catching a bug on the lens at 70mph is a little traumatic – to everyone/everything involved. In case you’re wondering, it’s best not to put the camera outside the car window to take pictures – to this day I’m still getting

The crew decided after that fun experience with the law enforcement system of Wyoming, it was time to check out the state’s roadside comfort work – which, honestly, for the desolate nature of the place, was pretty darn nifty being air conditioned and enclosed to protect us from the scorching 83°F (28°C) temperatures – which would be our highest since the first day of travels – and the sun was out. Guess not all is bad. Oh, that’s not promising – dark clouds and a disappearing horizon seem to be encircling us again -we’ve been in Montana an hour or

A last grab for a picture since we’re in a construction zone and unable to tell if anyone will be coming up the road – I decide to live with the road work debris in the image not knowing if these will be the first and last wildlife we see in Wyomingwhich turns out. it is the last of the buffalo and antelope we’ll see. We only have to find a bear, and we’ll have got the trifecta. Ahem. For the Please be more specific file – I meant, Black bear, grizzly bear, brown bear… not Wyoming State Patrol bear.

Lunch in the parking lot, then back on the road – if you can call this a road. Miles of dirt and conesand warmth! Temperatures over 80°F (in August, mind you). Finally! After mile-after-mile of construction and slower travel, we finally see pronghorn antelope. A trio of them just off to the side of the road work – not the most picturesque, but after all this time, nice to finally see it. Attempting to get a more photogenic view of this small group, zooming in on the presumed male of the mini-herd. A staging beside steps up indicates the Edinburgh

Dinner time approaching and we’re not getting any closer to our destination, time to hit another rest area near the border because the Hogs are now covering all lanes of traffic and moving considerably slower than the posted speed limit in the increasing wind and tricky conditions when you’re balanced on two wheels. Watching the weather system overtake us with the sparks of lightning suggesting we’re in for quite the show. The rains begin and we huddle in our dinner alcove as the temperature drops. One more stop before resuming our journey now that we’re possibly behind the storm, the

Straggling along just outside the rain clouds, we stop for lunch near a boat launch and requisite toilet facility for the family so they can continue their tour of all available rest stops along the way. At least I got a train bridge – no trains, but I’m sure there was one through here recentlyyou can see the tracks (on the other side of the road leading up to the bridge). The clouds and the threat of rain linger in the distance, chasing us or being chased by us depending on the moment as we make our way across south
