Well it has started! The first camper has arrived at the Ridge Live Steamers facilities. I have been told that there will be another one showing right after Thanksgiving. I have not heard how many parking spots have been spoken for so far for the February meets.

There's winter in Florida?

I guess you can tell by the arrival of the snowbirds.

There is one portable track. There is also 20 feet of 3-1/2” gauge track at the Ridge Live Steamers track. "LOL" Someday I hope to finish a loop for both 3-1/2” and 4-3/4” at the Ridge track.

Who is all coming to to Florida next month?

The south yard at the Ridge track should be usable, so that is 500 more feet of storage space.

I've heard from two reliable, but secondhand sources, that the February meet to be held at the Big Boots & Western track near Ocala, Florida has been cancelled. Those of you who were planning to attend may want to confirm this rumor.

Please note this is the only change and the rest of the meet will continue as previously reported.

John, I got an e-mail from Capt. Boots and he confirmed that they were "gearing up" for the meet. So it looks like Big Boots will be active as well.
