I noticed the 'waver' on the parlor car this morning. Are we sure that he is not Larry Gibson incognito, fulfilling all our dreams of truly making everyday, 'train day' without the burden of posting his adventures, of which I am forever grateful of?

I don't think so, Bill. I just got an email from Larry with photos from Michigan. I don't believe his Jeep can go that fast...
But, I've been wrong before.

Well it may not be Larry, but whoever he is I think we can all agree that he is one lucky guy. Oh by the way Jason isn't Larry a Marine? He maybe able to be in two places at once.

Yes, sir. Mr Gibson is a fellow Teufelshunde and that does give him certain super-human strengths.

After watching that guy for almost 3 weeks, I would love to know his story. I am getting ready to process this mornings stills and video now so we will have shots of him today.
Its Thursday and I can see the smoke from the grill down by the cook car where Mary Ann Smith's crew is getting hamburgers ready for everyone.
