I want to say Ron @elkun1 recently ran this one with his sons? I think there was a mine or tunnel or something.

yeah this is the one with the long railroad tunnel. I have never had the chance to make this one just cuz weird stuff always happens. knock on wood

when are you looking at running it? pretty easy to find, get off at Jefferson city exit, go thru town as you head towards the old Montana Tunnels mine, keep going towards Wickes, go right thru the "town" of Wickes and the road will climb a bit and there is the tunnel.
you could also take a side route and go up above the mine to the top on the Occidental platteu

I have the track in GAIA from the first time the club went there. I'll see if I can attach it here in the next day or two.
