Clyde, If you can find someone with an old car or truck, we'd love to include them in some scenes. We have used the model T station wagon, but it's too pristine for the narrow gauge in the 1940's!

Pete Lerro has done this a lot back east, but there are car clubs all over the place to draw from. Chama and Antonito, not so much. We tried to get some people from the car show in Alamosa to come down to Antonito for the Friends RGS charter but nobody was interested.

We have actually had people out for a ride in an old car or truck stumble across a runby and agree to do several more. This happened on HTP Soo 1003 trips on three different occasions, once on an HTP New Hope and Ivyland trip and once on a Lerro 261 trip. What are the odds of that happening!

Michael Allen
