    I can't say I'll make it to MOTD or not next year but this does sound cool, wouldn't it be like work for you though?

    I can give you two :Thumbsup::Thumbsup: for this trip. We did it two years ago on our way home from the Dragon. Beautiful scenery. Nice leisurely ride. Fun to watch the kayakers running the rapids at the nature center. Plenty of parking across the street behind the ice cream store. :yesnod:

    Nope, riding is a whole lot different than running a train.

    Yeah, I know :eek:ut:

    I think it is the same parking lot. We could give both Soda Pops and the sandwich store a little extra MINI business.

    I would like to add 2 to the list. We were already planning to do the train ride on our own.

    Did you take medication to get over it?:D

    Glad to see some interest in this.

    This week was a little crazy so I haven't contacted them yet, but it's on the list of things to do this week.

    That is a cool trip. I did the raft and rail trip a few years back. You ride the train for the first half and raft on the Nantahala for the second half. The train trip takes you past the spot where they filmed the train wreck scene in The Fugitive.

    Yep, figured I'd get check interest before really digging into it, and I can get things ready in case I have time issues closer to MOTD.

    Yes I did, it was a BRG/W pill. Went down with a big glass of water. Lucky for me there were no side effects.

    You can definately put the remaining 3 members of the Kiestwood Coopers down as VERRY interested.

    Remember, Jack's daddy retired from the RR.
