"What you mean-um WE, Kemo Sabe?

Are you and that infamous troll JBWX actually involved in not only Promoting, but Planning and helping to Run this event?"

You betchum, Red Rider!

The following information is from Tim Tennant, who is handling logistics.

Traveling to Antonito: There is a limited number of rooms in Antonito especially during the winter with the 1911 Steam Train Hotel having 8 rooms. Their contact information is; www.steamtrainhotel.com and telephone 719-298-8908. Alamosa is 25 miles to the north and they have a wide selection of lodging [www.alamosa.org] so you may want to explore that option.

Late winter conditions in the San Luis Valley can be very unpredictable with winter storms still a distinct possibility. Allow extra time in your travel plans and of course our trip’s itinerary could change due to weather conditions beyond our control. We also remind you to dress for these types of winter conditions. Always be prepared.

Because meals are not included we will provide some suggestions; for breakfast the Wake & Bake 24 Hour Café is located at 1227 Railroad Avenue (adjacent to Highway 285 South) in Alamosa (Telephone number 719-589-3104). Alamosa has two Subway locations, Safeway Grocery has a deli (1301 Main Street) and also City Market has a deli (131 Market Street) when considering having something prepared for lunch aboard the train.

If you stay in Antonito, you will need to purchase a breakfast sandwich or burrito on Friday, since the train leaves Saturday morning at 5:30 am, well before any Antonito restaurant will be open. You will also need to purchase a sandwich for your lunches on Saturday and Sunday. Beverages will be provided on the train.
