Well, Al was still a teenager & an innocent lad when he & I went down there. I remember that he had to sell a live steam 4-4-2 to finance the trip...and then I had to meet his mom before she'd let him go! But we had a great time, actually a great time. Saw & ran a 30" gauge two cylinder wood-burning Shay. Best part was an all day, 97 mile trip in Mikado 180...he fired & I ran for the last 30 miles while the engineer & fireman both sat on the sandbox. We both got sunburned, but who cared.
