Jim and I headed out of town today for an afternoon trip on the Heber Valley Railroad around Soldier’s Hollow. It was a leisurely trip but the station was kind of crazy with hundreds of families visiting Thomas The Tank Engine. It was fun seeing all the kids. But we took another trip through the countryside.
Some of the folks saw a white mountain goat with black horns. I missed it. I kept an “eagle eye” out for the eagle’s nest en route back to the station and sort of caught two bald eagles in their nest. We saw a few deer, ducks and fish jumping at the lake. It made for a relaxing afternoon and we skirted the past 48 hours of rain. Oh well, the grass is getting green and buds and some blooms are out.
Here are a few pics for you:






I neglected to mention to train enthusiasts that this was a steam train. Dee
