473 was charging right along toward Big Horn while I had a very slow way getting back to a better i.e. dirt/gravel road
It was a rainy day, which slowed travel on muddy roads, and I didn't catch up with the train until Lobato
Getting ahead of the train in the Narrows was a bit challenging too
In Chama engineer Shock and fireman Andy Payne were called for 12:45 pm to take the train on to Durango. The crew change allowed me time to get ahead of the train for a photo between Willow Creek and Azotea
Well, time for Jack and me to get ready to meet two friends and their Golden Retriever for a hike to Dexter Creek near Ouray on this blue sky day
