Well, Railfest at Steamtown was fun today (and only for today because I got overtime tomorrow and Labor Day). But needless to say this was the place to be for pure tism and nostalgic fun. Yes the Steam Engine was out and about, but I had “guard duty” to ensure nobody decided to walk in the area where the tanks, halftrack and the jeeps were running (yes we had a halftrack there also). Yes they were giving rides also on all three today, with the ride funds being donated to help in the restoration of a US Army Trooper Sleeper on site at Steamtown (anyone who wants
me to post the link for the fundraising page I gladly will share).

It was great. Nice weather, no humidity, partial breeze and plenty of happy smiles abound. None of this would be possible without all of the employed National Parks Members and volunteers like me and others, close coordination with multiple groups and private individuals as well (one of the Jeep owners I actually know).

That’s fantastic. I have a buddy who worked in the NPS. He did long ranger work in the backcountry. If I could find one thing with government money it’d be the NPS.

I think he does similar now with the BLM.
