The Quest: Observing the Steely Steed
The Challenge:
Easy part: Find your way to Rollinsville, Colorado. From there, head directly west on the dirt road called "East Portal Road" or "Tolland Road". Take it about 9 miles to its terminus at the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel. Get a picture of the front end of an eastbound train exiting the tunnel.
Hard part: At about the 5 mile mark (from Rollinsville), there is a grey concrete cabin hidden back in the woods just on the south side of the road. You'll probably find my mom there. She will not shoot you, and most likely will feed you.
Bonus: figure out where the train used to go before the tunnel was built.
Zora's note: This sounds like a lot of fun, we both really like trains, so this is right up our...tunnel? We also really like being fed :)
Wombat's Ruling: This one sounds like a real adventure! Both bits sound time consuming. Let's call it 300 exp (2 hours charity) for the first part, and then another 300 exp (just 1 hour charity for this) for the second part. 100 exp (no charity) for completing the bonus.
Update 7/8/2018: Not only did we miss the opportunity to do this quest, we also missed the opportunity to step foot inside Colorado entirely! Another route issue I'm afraid, and being constrained by an important appointment in St.Louis. Next time!
