C&TS on July 7th and 9th

First I'd like to thank all of the forum members for making this such a wonderful site. I've been reading the posts here for over a year and not only am I getting an education about Colorado's narrow gauge but I also see the beauty in the photos that everyone shares!

After reading about the 315 trips on the C&TS on this forum, I've purchased tickets for both the July 7th and 9th trips. Other than a departure time I haven't received many details about the trips. I'd greatly appreciate any information people may have about the planned trips these two days. I'm particularly interested in how late the events may go on the 9th as I need to know if I should plan on burning another vacation day for the 10th.

I plan on staying in Chama for these trips and was also wondering if any other forum members might be interested in meeting one another.
