I was able to take some pics of the student freight today. With some luck, video tomorrow.

And the Mayor of Cumbres. The Mayor says bring more bones and treats . It's the only issue these days for Cumbres.

Great stuff, Joe. Thanks.

I'll make a note to bring some treats for the Mayor on my next trip.

I wasn't working. I heard the whistles and decided to see what was departing. That was a great looking train set. Kudos to the folks who fixed those cars.

The mayor of Cumbres says bring bones, treats and leftovers from Osier. More rain is needed at Cumbres. The bark beetles are moving toward Cumbres.

I did notice ground breaking for the amphitheater.

Joe, you might check as to what the ground-breaking is for. The Commission already had plans and funding to construct a picnic area up there prior to HRM floating the amphitheater proposal. My recollection was that the picnic area would not be inconsistent with constructing an amphitheater later (assuming the Commission can find funding for the larger project).
