Heading into a big snowshed. Donner Lake in the valley. Snow getting
heavy.
From the end of the westbound Amtrak California Zephyr.
The last shot of the day taken from the road bridge parapet to take a shot of something I couldn't see. I guess I got lucky.
The fake brick platform (it is poured concrete with a brick pattern) gleams after a severe summer thunderstorm has passed through.
I rode up to Cathedral Park in St Johns for this week's coffee outside. From there I headed south to the Portland Farmers Market to get my breakfast burrito from Enchanted Sun.
As always I took a mildly circuitous route through alleys — some paved and some unpaved doubletrack. I rode some singletrack, sort of, through former industrial areas and even passed through a Superfund site.
I have this ride up on Ride with GPS: ridewithgps.com/trips/94537423
Rockin some really fun rough doubletrack/singletrack through Huntington State Forest! (Day 4 of a 4 Day Tour: Starting on top of Mt Everett and rambling east with a whole lot of dirt and some rough state forest double/singletrack back to Northampton. 100 miles.)
we found the whole of the garburn loop a bit overrated. all trails are doubletrack paths of varying degrees of looseness without any real flow, and the scenery doesn't compare with the more alpine stuff on display elsewhere in the lake DC.
Description:
"- The DBX 162 is a legendary compressor that l use to make the whole music mix from stage sound very tight, as if it's packed together in a small electronic space and wants to come free and therefore its pumping it’s way out. lt puts a lot of energy in to the sound".
“ - The Eventide Harmonizer is an electronic tone-bender. ` I use it as an effect to add a double identical twin to Benny's piano. Björn's acoustic guitar or Agnetha and Frida's vocals. l can then turn it slightly off the original pitch so it sounds like a doubletrack, only it's instantaneous! Very ABBA!"

Alot of BNSF and UP crude ore trains have been running on the Alton & Southern lately.Here is the DPU on a northbound empty seen just north of Doubletrack Jct in Granite City Illinois.

375 (Bellevue - A&S St. Louis) rolls down the CNO&TP on doubletrack. It will stop soon short of the single track to allow the passage of hot intermodal 216 before continuing its journey. Judging by NS's system map, 375 is taking the long way to StL.
My boss talks with BNSF surveying and engineering about the new section of track and how the sub-ballast is looking
Alta Via del Sale. In torrential downpour. For the whole day from 9 am to nightfall.
It was Alps Divide Day two for me. This weather was forecasted, but the extend and intensity was extraordinary. And it’s not me saying this. This came from quite a lot of very experienced people. Even people living in the UK and in Scotland and who have participated in events like Silkroad Mountain Race. E.g. both @Jennytough and @nielcopeland said this rain had broken the scale.
And wow - I literally rode through rivers running across the trails. At times just one side, at times on both sides. And it was chunky. As usual, the photos don’t do the real roughness of the surface justice. It was no mellow riding. It wouldn’t have even on good gravel surface as I did 3.400 meters of climbing on that day. But indeed it was a constant search for rideable lines over the chunky trails. Right through the middle of the streams running down the trails or next to it.
As long as I was moving and moving upwards the temperature weren’t that much of a problem. But for the descending parts the wet body had few reserves. Still not at the halfway mark, after quite a bit of a descending part and still 20 km from the next rifugio (i.e. more than 2 hours away) I was shivering so hard once stopped. Luckily I found a small opportunity to pull out my puffy jacket under a bit of shelter and put in on under my rain jacket. It took a while to stop shivering after staring to move again, but I finally could comfortably „swim“ all the rest of the Via Sale. It took me until well after dusk, when the rain finally subsided a little above Tende but gave way to dense and wet fog.
This was quite the experience.
