Rick, thanks for the web site. There is steam engine footage on this site of the Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" which now runs from Denver to Cheyenne for the Cheyenne Days Rodeo every year. Talk about raw power.

I can watch those old engines run for hours. The engineering that went into them back before we had all the tools today...

Margie and I stopped at McPherson College last September on our way to Glacier NP, Lake Louise and Jasper in Canada. We asked if we could look around and they gave us a personal tour of the restoration technology department. It is quite a unique degree program. They have all the equipment to do every aspect of a vehicle restoration including a boring machine for rebuilding engines as well as metal forming machines for making new fenders, etc. They don't do work for others but you can donate a vehicle then buy it back when it is completed. Wonder if they would take a GMC as a donation, Hmmmm.

Worth a stop if you are passing near there. Not too far South of I-70 just off of I-135. The rest area near the exit allows overnight camping and has a separate loop just for RVs with shade and is secluded away from all the trucks.
