That blue '64 Beetle apparently spent a LOT of time in Narrow Gauge Country, Olaf -
There are photos of it in the vicinity of Monero taken just three weeks earlier by Ernie Robart at [ngdiscussion.net].
Sorta reminds me of a well-known poem (or was it a song?), written about a town along the D&RG (no 'W') back in the good old days:
In Monero, In Monero -
Where the Spaniards played 'Bolero'
In Monero, In Monero
Where the mines played out too soon . . .
