El Centro, California

  

Cause marking it off our "Bucket List" once wasn't enough. So for the second time this year Dave and I along with friends Sam and Jan hiked out to the Goat Canyon Trestle on the Impossible Railroad.

It was an extremely windy day. In places, we estimated gusts to 50-60 mph and this is one of those spots. It was difficult to walk and stand at times.

On the way back we received a stern talking to from railroad employees about the fact that we were trespassing and subject to a $500 fine each. We just listened and eventually, we were told we “seemed like nice people” and were advised to tell others not to come.

Dave spied a Shadowgee.  This was used to hold a candle for light.
