Day 2: Short trip to Durango, repaired Crank Pulley a fellow FordBarner's and toured the train maintenance shop & Museum. Ever seen a 60 Ton Press? Lathe to true up 44 inch train wheels? Climb into Steam Trains, watch train moved on a Turn Table, museum hadant train items. Great time, couldn't load any pictures, will upload later, after our train ride today.

I would love to be on that tour ! Colin L and I drove our "A"s from Ottawa Ontario to the MARC meet in French Lick for a return trip of 2,175 plus miles. It was a wonderful experience and your tour will be one not soon forgotten.

day 6: Visited Dinosaur Journey, traveled through Colorado National Monument and toured Grand River Vineyard (surprisingly, some wine was purchased). Some car problems during the tour, head gasket & rear hub problem, both repaired, ready for tomorrow.
