Thanks, Dan -
My parents moved from Ojai, CA, to Bend, Oregon in 1968 - back when it was still a quiet little town, not the crowded city it has become. The surrounding country is beautiful, and you're only a few hours from the Sumpter Valley ...

BTW, what
IS the most important bolt? The one holding the nut at the throttle??
I remember when the bolt holding the drawbar assembly fell out on 4449's trip to the Whirled Fair in '84. It had been pushed up from the bottom and the nut put on top instead of putting the bolt in from the top, as the latter operation involved some tight clearances. If it had been done right, it wouldn't have fallen out even after the nut worked loose.
