Descriptions of the construction progress of my new Florida model railroad featuring the line from Lakeland to Punta Gorda. Originally a journal of RV trips throughout the United States and Canada with Patti and Bob. Also photo documentation of the progress on my Maryland model railroad, the Allegheny and Shenandoah, a mythical class one line connecting Strasburg VA. with Elkins WV.

Huntsville space park
Beautiful downtown Huntsville complete with rockets and space shuttle. This facility is right next to the interstate and offers a wonderful view of the rockets as you enter town.

Santa Rosa Beach
We came up here on Tuesday and depart tomorrow for Huntsville to see the grand babies play with the train we bought them for Christmas. These shots were taken from the Destin inlet which has obviously gone to the dogs. Have you ever noticed how upset the sailboat rental people become when you leave their boats on a sand bar? I thought it made kind of a nice spot for an ad. Just run a banner with your phone number on it up the mast and you are good to go:)

Sights from the front porch
A taste of Cuba
We went to the Columbia restaurant in Ybor. Established in 1905 after some Cuban revolution or another. Located in the Cigar district of Tampa. Spectacular food. Thanks Pete for the heads up. The storm tide has rolled in in front of the rig and the beach has disappeared. I'm not saying the weather has been crappy and cold and rainy and windy, I'm just sayin'. But... this is the last of 76 freight cars I have built since we got here. I've also managed to bike about 35 miles and we've used the canoe several times so we're managing to aviod the rain and get some outside time but the temps have been hovering about 55 so lounging outside is a little rough.
