I rarely watch TV, let alone a seasonal show. One of the shows I did make an exception for was "Hell on Wheels" (a chronological depiction of the building of the Trans Continental Railroad). I'm a sucker for a good western, especially one were historic lever actions figure prominently. An added attraction for me is the original spur of the TCRR runs less than a mile from my house and the Golden Spike historical site at Promontory Point is approx. 60 miles or so away from my front door. I've been following the protagonist Cullen Bohannon for over half a decade now on this journey and it all comes to an end tonight. I'll be sitting in my recliner with a good bourbon when the show kicks off.
Plan for tomorrow is to ride the CB 1100 with my daughter and her boyfriend on their bikes out to Promontory Point and visit the site where the final spike was driven. Will add a sense of finality to a show I really became attached to. Gonna be a scorcher out there with no clouds in sight in what is basically elevated desert and some salt flats. Will post up a pic when I get back.
