To the public in 1869 the concept of crossing the continent by rail in a mere two weeks must have seemed much like a trip to infinity. Perhaps even To Infinity and Beyond? Just a few miles north of The Golden Spike Monument is a Rocket Garden on the grounds of a Northrop Grumman facility that was once ATK Thiokol in Corinne, Utah. Wish we’d been prepared to stop and explore it. Nonetheless it was fascinating to see the juxtaposition of the cutting edge technologies of the two eras!
Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
Our adventure in Halifax was an extremely informative visit to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic coupled with a beautiful walk from the ship and back again.
