OTD - 26th July 2001 - visit to the Cass Scenic Railroad

No real doubt - anything British Isles is fair game.   So if I get to Listowel or Ballybunion I can tell you about it.

I voted for "British isles" but would add the caveat that posts about more distant attractions could be included if exceptionally important/interesting.

Repeated several times ... so I'm inclined to think that the Cass Scenic Railroad can be included but probably not the Seminole Gulf Railway.  Cass, of course, is particularly inclined!

A personal memory of Lisa's and mine - a visit to the Cass Scenic Railroad in 2001.   A fantastic day out with a ride from Cass and after a stop at Whittaker up to Bald Knob.  Not much obvious online I have found but a wonderful page at  http://hawkinsrails.net/preservation/cass/cass.html

Posting because it is - to me - of worldwide interest.   Also personally a memory of a week at "West Virginia alt.good.morning" or WVAGM which was a meet-up of all the misfits and Mavericks who were a part of that newsgroup who we met through in 1996.   Cass was superb, but that was the week that really took us away on a separate path from most if not all of the people there; it confirmed just how much we were right for each other among some significant challenges that would seem like trivia if I reported them here.

Lisa and I met in 1996; we married on 24th July 1998 (so last Monday was our Silver Wedding).  The AGM folks said it would not last - how wrong they were.  The first 25 years were silver, the next 25 all be golden.   On Monday we celebrated with "Meet the Manager" at 17:00, "Assembly Hall Working Group" at 19:00, and a meal in the Market Tavern at 21:00.
