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.

The scenery of the big island
t
We toured the island today. The beauty is incredable. The area of lava and the resulting black sand beach is part of the 1994 flow that destroyed the village that stood here. Few houses remain. The flow, as if by some divine hand, came down the mountain to within yards of the ocean then made a 90 degree left turn to engulf the villiage then turned again to fall into the sea. Fortunaatly the lava was very slow moving and no one was injured.
