Re: Photographing isolated spots on the C&TS

Well Russ I emailed them before hand and figured I could find it given the fact I have done a lot overseas and elsewhere in hard to find spots. But, I was wrong-Only time in 2014 I might add 
Yes I visited with Roger at his place in Chama, and he phoned Steve. If there is a next time I will surely have someone as a guide. I won't make the same mistake twice!!! My original idea was to go in there when they were running the engineer school trains which I was out there for. That way I would get that train earlier coming out of Antonito, then the regular 215, so two for the money so to speak. But that planned was foiled when I found out the "Advanced" school trips were only going from Chama-Osier and back two days in a row. So I decided to go for the one train (215) anyway on a day there were not Engineer School trains.
I'm sure there are folks who have been back there enough to know exactly what they are doing. For us dudes from Ohio its not always that easy!!!!
