A future Moose passenger watched us make our way to the end of track.
The Moose reached the end of track just west of Whiteface. We were allowed to get out for some pictures.
The Moose at the end of the line. We all reboarded to go back to the grade crossing then climbed out before it was reversed to turn it around for the trip back to Levelland.

An interesting sky before we found a 1929 date nail. From here we drove back to the Super 8 Motel and after I uploaded the pictures of the Moose trip, I went to dinner with Dave, Kathie, Dwight, Marie and Randy across the street at River Smith's, where I had very good fried chicken. Once back in the motel I worked on the story, finished it before calling it a night.
