Gravel roads turned to mud as moderate rains soaked the area on May 2, 2024... but that didn't stop us from using them during the Final Spike Steam Tour.
Here 2816 and company round a curve east of Maple Lake, nearing its service stop east of Buffalo, MN.
Despite the weather conditions, spirits were high and the weather amplified the steam experience, which was a thrilling experience regardless of how wet we were.
