I know I have been lazy since I got back (just thinking about how soon I can go again, I know I suck). Well for those that didn't hear me talk about it,

It was great!

Like I haven't ever traveled before. I know Colarado is nice, just haven't wheeled there before. Didn't spend as much time as I would have liked to. I would like to do All 4 Fun but I have to do some things so I can travel for an extended period of time.

It's always fun to go wheeling with you (interesting things happen like broken steering box bolts on Ecalator :D). Tell Justin I'll be back to collect that home cooked meal sometime. I understand the work thing even though I am trying stop doing it.

Send me the information when you get it all figured out.

Yup. Here's a photo from a different angle of it the first time I saw it back in October 2003. It was fun to ride the train but I need to go back sometime when it goes all the way to Silverton (missed it by a week or two, only goes up to Cascade Canyon). Also someone else told me about this one that goes from New Mexico to Colorado. http://www.cumbrestoltec.com/index.php

That's what I'm thinking. Is he still alive?

Not really sure. The stories I hear range from being released to dying on the way to the hospital. I do know that his head was touching the ground and had amnesia after being pulled from the vehicle. The Ford had at one time a sunroof which was removed and covered by plywood. On the first roll it fell out along with the windshield. When the roof crushed and came to rest on top his head was against the ground. It was through this sunroof opening that they pulled him out of. I can only assume he was pushed down to the floor.

That makes me want to cage mine right now.
