Morning preparations:

We got a freeze up this morning and, strange as it sounds, all 3 cams froze at different times. I actually have some shots to post of 487 getting ready and the train in load position, but that's it for morning. So Jason, nothing with you and your son so come back this afternoon on arrival.

You'll see me and my son on the north cam just after the train clears.

Fudge Jason, the cams went down just as the Goose arrived into Chama with the dredged Crossdomain access denied.
When it comes to getting stuff today, its now been good. The streams were running when I left home after posting the shots above and when I got back it had frozen again. Know you are doing stuff but no idea if its you are stream issues somewhere in the ISP.

Thank you, Sharon. Very much appreciated.

That's me in the denim, but the truck belongs to John Engs. My truck is home in Texas. We RV'd up here and I'm hoofin' around town.

We're riding 215 tomorrow. I'll wave when we arrive.
