I'll be camping in the "poofy dirt"* down in the RV area in a red and white F250 with a Bigfoot camper on the back. But since two grandchildren will be with me, I suspect I'll never be off the train. The train is an RMI diseasel in maroon numbered 3.1416 and pulling two riding cars, one in Pullman green, numbered 1.4142 and lettered "Furnulum pani nolo." The other riding car is in basic black and is unlettered.

*So called because it is the result of grinding pine needles to dust and, for some reason, small boys delight in kicking it about.

We'll plan a casual get together some time Thurs - Sat depending on when people are there and other events happening. Will shore this up as the event gets closer.

I'll be there from the Wednesday the 27th till the end. I'll have the Kozo A3 and the battery powered switcher. Doesn't look like the A3 will be under steam at that point as I have too much to do and not enough time to do it. Figured I'd bring it for "show n tell"

I'm new to the forum and would enjoy meeting any of you that would care to say hello. I'll be there from Monday afternoon through Friday, staying at the Cimmaron in K-Falls. I love the DHR so plan to attend the 'B-class' seminar. At the track look for someone about 7 feet tall around either the St Croix RR contingent or the Fiddletown and Crooked Creek guys. I know all those people, so would enjoy meeting you. I'm building a Shay so I like talking about that, getting lost north of Farmersville Circle, the DHR, Santa Fe tenders, machining (I'm a student not a teacher), or whatever your interests are.

For those who haven't been there, if you can find 200% DEET, bring it.

I seem to not have the thing that attracts mosquitos for the most part, but my girlfriend at the time got attacked pretty bad. They do come out at dusk quite a bit.

Would be glad to meet you there.

I will be there 6-27 to 7-1 with my Santa Fe Hudson 3463 and a string of ex-Deerfield passenger cars. This assumes of course that I get everything back together by then. Otherwise I will be there with a yellow RMI industrial switcher and a couple of the Deerfield cars.
