in July.
Some on the list here are aware of the massive trip I and some friends are trying to put together for a friend who is suffering from an inoperable brain tumor. Well, its looking more and more like it will happen. Someone kindly sold us an RV for $600! Now we just need to raise some more funds to cover some repairs and a LOT of gas and we're on our way.
He's never ridden any NG except for Roaring Camp and only saw Chama once in April 1990. So we're going to ride the D&S (July 19), chase the C&TS (July 20) (due to reasons of schedule it has to be this way) and ride the Sumpter (July 29).
Was wondering if there was any chance of getting looks at the shops in Chama and/or Antonito and at Sumpter/McEwen? Our friend has been helping with the restoration of cars in Portola before he got sick and is fascinated with railroad shops. He is partly paralyzed by the tumor, but does have a powered wheelchair and can walk short distances with a walker.
And if anyone wants to say hi in person, please let me know or just come knock on the door. We'll be easy to spot, driving the crazy 31' Fleetwood that is planned to have a WP logo and red passenger wings on the nose.
