I can make the 15th of July.

(We've got a family reunion the following week.  Can I bring some folks by during the week?)

Cheers,
Jeff.

Sure, do not know my plans so far ahead but let me know nearer the time.

if you are going long distance hiking do not forget to pick up the pup.

[Daniel Frauenhoff]

Great news! Looking forward to helping out.

I'll pass these dates along to interested co-workers on the D&S; if there are days I cannot make it out hopefully some of them will.

Can't say for certain which dates will work for me yet but I will let you know when I do.

[Jeff Ramsey]

See you guys Monday.

[Tim B]

Can we confirm the date in May? Is it the 26th (Friday) or the 27th (Saturday)?

Either way, I will be there.

I and my father are considering being there on July 15th. Would be nice to meet you Jeff and everyone else. Will be a good chance to posably go see some of the other locations also.

David,

We are thinking of staying in Fairplay. Is there any place available in Como?
Or do you have a place you would recommend near by?
There will be 3 of us.

[ComoDepot]

Sorry Don missed this, I rent 3 rooms at the Hotel in Como and of course  Bob's wife owns the Valiton in Fairplay. Fairplay also has the Hand Hotel and the Riverside Hotel.

[Don Gustavson II]

It is official.
Just got airline tickets.
My Father and I will be there on July 15th.
We will have some extra days after that to explore also.

[ComoDepot]

Our next track day is this Sunday, snowed last time, Sunday should be 70F, big change in 2 weeks, now of course how the weather will treat us in the future is anybody's guess.

[Jeff Ramsey]

I will be at the r'hse and yard throat to do final alignment on track 9 and 11 tomorrow if anyone would like to help me before the scheduled volunteer day on Sunday. Am also aligning the mainline from the depot towards the water tank site next to the stone garage/stores ruin.

Como:

That picture is so cool. I guess Klondike Kate will inhabit that beautiful roundhouse. So now it's just a race to get things done. Wish I could help. But I'm stuck in Alabama without a banjo on my knee.

This is just a random observation. After the Army went sooo much Colorado narrow gauge equiptment to the WP&Y, it's nice to see some repayment from Alaska.
