Dolly's first time
in Utah visiting
"crowwhite" in Logan, Utah ... |
| Dawn was barely
breaking as Yellow_Teapot (Bonnie) and her DH, Richard left Salt Lake
City on their way north to meet Traveling Dolly and Crowwhite (CC) who
were driving down the mountain from Logan, Utah. Everyone was very
excited to have this fun adventure with Dolly. After meeting and
exchanging greetings they were on their way to a famous place in
Railroad History, Promontory Point. Promontory Point is better know as
the Golden Spike National Historic Site, the place where East met West
and the first transcontinental railroad line was completed. |

But the day isn't over, yet. They were too
close to not stop and see the rockets and space memorabilia at Thiokol,
the infamous makers of the NASA "O" Rings. |
