I always enjoy seeing videos from folks enjoying the same adventure! We never tire of chasing the Big Boy! We came home sunburned, wind-tossed, and tired..... But what an event! Safe travels! Our paths may cross again!!
@@roadtrippinnomad7637 Lakeside Military area... Skunk Road... I do believe we were parked just ahead of you! My husband was the other fellow with the tripod. Great video!! Safe travels!
Man was it windy on the 6th. I was at this location before heading to Wendover and climbing the Wendover Viewpoint which is about 230m higher than the track elevation just south of it. The vantage point was terrific as I was able to film Bog Boy for almost 25 minutes, but the wind was insane. Not only did the wind totally ruin the sound, but it was so bad it produced very obvious jitter in the video even with a top grade tripod. It would have been better to not climb so high, but even at ground level the win was bad. Just one point: the level in this video is way out -- as the train approaches it seems to be going do a really steep hill when in fact it was about 1% uphill. And then, as the train is passing it appears to be climbing a 10% grade when in fact it was closer to 1%. Usually this is down to not leveling the tripod, but I can't say for sure.

Main rods in perfect synch with each other! Nice! 👍
Glad you posted it. Thanks. But just where is this place? Out toward Lucin??
@ldalton7414 Heading west It would be the next exit after the Delle exit. I think it's called the military exit road.
