Unfortunately, don't count me or my boy. :(

Everytime I turned around there was one more reason to stay home and be a grown-up. The boy has a big school project wrapping up at the end of the week, so it would be wise to stay home so he can see it through...

Hopefully the RS crew will run this next year!

Man, bummer TJ! :(. Been looking forward to catching up. Sorry you guys can't make it! Next year!!

I know! It was one of those things where everytime I turned around there another issue.
Since I have 3 days off left for the year, I don't want to burn 2 of them without the wife and kid.
Next year I think I will be able to bring my Dad, he will have a huge blast seeing those trains!

I'll be riding the train on Saturday with my family, so I look forward to seeing those of you who'll be chasing. I'll be sure to take some pics when I see you and share here. Sounds like a great trip, and I hope to come and join maybe next year.

My famous or maybe infamous baked beans are in the slow cooker now. couple of errands in the morning and hitting the road about noon. :)

What luck! I made the perfect compliment to some beans! Martin can attest: he got a taste today as I was cooking it.

Speaking of a taste: http://www.coloradonewmexicosteamtrain.org/FriendsForum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4057&p=18369#p18369
That was today. Colors are in peak!

BTW--if we see any of the FOCTS special trains and are able to photograph them I will go out of my way to make a donation to the FOCTS to thank them for restoring odd equipment (like freight cars, buildings, etc...) so that we can enjoy them.

I'm leaving Dumont no later than 9AM, and Perry and Martin are heading out of Denver about the same time--see you all tomorrow!!

People's Soviet Socialist Republic of California,
Just made our reservations for the train! One way or another, we're coming down and have a ticket to ride! (Hmm... maybe we should bring that boardgame...)

We should be showing up Thursday afternoon/early evening. We'll have a big tent. Leave a flat spot for us :)

Not bad at all. Daytime highs around 50-60. EDIT--super sunny too.

Supposed to be just below freezing tonight, but warmer after that.

You should come down. ;)

You know we'd like to but still have plans to attend the RMAF this weekend. You guys are just going to have to have a CCT next year. Super event and keep those pics coming!
