Hi to all
Yes as soon as i posted i realized i should have said where it is and how long
it is !!
The walk is south of Cheyenne the ranch is on 1-25 a few minutes south.
The walk itself is a bus ride to the site of the railroad bed and then a 1.5
mile walk up the grade to Athol summit where we look at the newly discovered
wye, section house remains and side tracks. We also look at the remains of the
Colorado Central near the ranch itself.
Cheers
Mike
