 Ahh, just in time for the humid season. :-) 
 There's some interesting railraod places to go down there, if you want to 
drive a  
 bit. There's a neat little museum in Wilmington, which is down the cost from 
 where you're headed, and a couple of neat little short lines down that way, 
 too.  
I wish I'd had more time, and a more agile vehicle to railfan in than a 24ft 
motorhome. Kinda hard to chase trains in a thing that big.  
 
  Spent last

I'd forgotten they were going to run that thing again. Saw it over at New 
Hope 
last spring, geez is it big! Looked like it would crush that wimpy little  
rail on that line.

Look for a lot more Bright No Future stuff. We're already getting more of it. 
 
Wondering now how they're going to divide up the power and rolling stock.  
Stick all the road numbers in a hat and draw? Or eenie meenie miney moe? :-)

Well, shoot 'em when they're stopped will cure a lot of the blurry's. :-)
