Funny al's28/33 mentioned "Joining of the Rails". I'm planning to drive the old railroad bed from Promontory Point where the rails were joined 90 miles west almost to Nevada next month (May). We'll be driving through what's left of the ghost town of Kelton shown at the south end of the Boise-Kelton stage line map. That's one I've been wanting to do for a few months but weather was too bad. It's all dirt road.

Thanks for posting. My wife and I are planning to head west next spring...May... to take a look around. Yellowstone is on our bucket list along with many other places. Stopping to see my nephew in WA.

You'll want to check conditions in Yellowstone before heading there in May. It can still be pretty wintery there that early in the year. We've been there in June when it was very cold and rainy - not so much fun. Southern Utah and all of its national parks and monuments, on the other hand, is ideal that time of year.

Plenty of people, including some who don't know you, thinking about you too, Trev!

No. The chatter is clutch chatter just starting out from dead stop in 1st gear. The high speed vibration was the U-joint totally shot. That's gone now.
