Let's celebrate!

Brian Hanel and Joanie will be stopping at Rochelle on their way home from Rockford Sunday afternoon/evening.

Pat and I will be heading out that way after I get off work.

We’ll have an extra hour of daylight that night, for the first time since last fall! That’s cause to celebrate. So’s the great weather that’s been forecast for the day–sunny, high in the upper 40s.

So anyone else who wants to spend a long, late afternoon where the trains run copiously (we hope!), we’re going to be there! Join us!

Yep, it’s always fun to meet folks at the park. C’mon out!

If I didn’t have school tomorrow, I’d try to join you guys! [8D] That would also be if I could get my mom or dad to drive across the state of Iowa and part of Illinois to spend a couple of hours watching trains and then come right back home. [;)]

Have fun tomorrow! [:)]

I’d have a longer drive than Willy - Maybe I can find a moment (the right one) to stop in at the webcam…

Willy, I hope to have fun tomorrow–but that will be at work, and perhaps buying a new computer afterwards. Sunday’s the afternoon we’re going to Rochelle. It’d be a long drive for your folks, I’m afraid, and if you have school again Monday morning, your courses might put you to sleep (V.O.E. there).

Have fun and get some pictures to put up on the site!

My bad. Have fun on Sunday.

We should set a certain time for you and Brian to be in view of the Rochelle cam so you can give me a wave.

How about 6 PM? I’ll be the tall shiny-headed one, he’ll be the short one…

Sounds fine to me. We’ll have to remind each other on Saturday so that you and Carl remember to be in the camera view at 6 PM and I remember to look at 6 PM.

Well I would watch the webcam, but I’m going to be working a booth at the train show in Ottumwa this weekend. Be sure to tell us how it went, though!

I’m going to try and be there, but just in case I am not…have fun!

Hope you can make it, Jim! And if you can get in touch with PZ, we’d love to meet him, too!

And (just about) anyone else!

Don’t forget, Willy! 6 PM CDT!

good luck with the trainwatching!!!

stay safe

Joe

I remember! I’ll be watching! [8D]

I think Barbara and I will be there this afternoon.

Well, this is unfortunate. The sun is shining right into the camera and I can’t see a thing. It looked like there was a train going by just now, but I could hardly see that let alone any people that might be in the camera view. [:(]

Sorry I couldn’t make it there this afternoon, but if another similar get together is planned later in the year, I will certainly try…hope you all had a good time.
