The Roundup

Hey everybody. I am still alive and kicking. If work aint beating me up chasing water leaks all over the camp, then the trains are. Shay project still moving along at a snails pace. Son Jeffrey is priming the caboose and its restored interior.




I did just get back for a week of vacation down in Santa Margarita where I volunteered my time as the Mechanical and Training Officer for the Pacific Coast Railroad. The San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum held their 5th annual Roundup and I was there to oversee the operations and make sure the steam locomotives were in good running condition. Here are some of my favorite shots from Mike Massee.









And here are some from Jamie Foster







Here is a video from my friend John Haskey of Bonney Doon, CA


Also got to do some backhead cooking with some of Cookie Thurman's Monster Enchilada's.



Here is a video segment we did on that run...



Well camp season is breathing down my neck so will try to keep the monthly updates coming. Stay tuned and stay safe out there.
