International Rally. I do a general history about a place before we get there and saw nothing about this event. As we travelled we stopped at a couple of Thai Restaurants for lunch and I wondered why so many Asians in Rawlins.
Mind you, we were preparing for the rally and the Art Show to raise money for the United Way.
The railroad across alongside I 80 is in constant use. Union Pacific. I should have thought more deeply about who built the rail tracks.
Even still, there was no reference to this event. I was in and about town to the hardware store, oil change, groceries and restaurants.
Sorry I couldn't have checked this out.
Thanks for the post.
