Friends arrived last evening... we went to supper. Going to go get them at the motel mile away.... and we will go check some cattle, feed grain to the "13" and going to leave to go to eat and then go on the Scenic train ride around noon. Ride is at 2-230 lasts about 3+ hours. It is a completely restored steam engine ; The 611 built in Roanoke Va.... both DS and her husband are "real" train enthusiasts.... since her mom did not come with them, I am going tomorrow morning with them on the train they had originally planned to ride.... the "611" tickets were a "surprise" treat I got because they are the ones that "come south" to visit much more often than I go north to visit...
Gotta get going... It's cloudy but sun is supposed to start showing better in a bit and actually be nice and warmer this afternoon.
Love this! My dh was a big train enthusiast, and when we drove to visit family I tried to route us close to train museums. There's a big museum in eastern PA, in Stroudsburg I think. A few years ago we stopped there, and I let us splurge on a wood fired engine train ride. It was so much fun.
