There ain't no better place in the world to drink coffee and much on some breakfast than the balcony at the Hotel.

It's also a great place for a frothy cold one at the end of the day.

If you've never stayed there, I highly recommend it. Roger and Barbara are good people. REALLY good people.

Ok - this is it for now, photographer needs a break! What a fantastic job by Larry Gibson! Wonderful coverage sir!

Also nobody knows where Goose 5 is at this time, so we'll find out sooner or later I guess.

Well Goose 5 has arrived, snuck in under the radar. More pics now.

Nice! You got to walk around at Lobato Siding. That's a rare treat... even in the rain.

Great photos, thanks to both Larry's for posting them. Wow, the carman's house sure looks great now. Bob and his team had the front all apart with only plywood on the track side of the house when we were up there in E. We had to close the front door with a screwgun and LOTS of screws. Those guys have made A LOT of headway in that time.

The day 5 Flickr album - https://www.flickr.com/photos/54894386@ ... 2790614786

I think I have most of these posted here - but you may find a few not posted. Another great day in paradise, what will tomorrow bring?? Check tomorrow's thread to find out.

I'll have a few more off the Nikon to put here in the morning, once I get home from work.

Thanks John - it's a pleasure for me to help contribute doing the posting, but Larry G is really the one that so willingly shares his adventures. It's been an amazing 5 days, we have another 5 or so to go.
