A reflection on the last few days in our area.
Some of the reasons for being in this hobby started last Thursday when a plane landed in Newark Airport and two friends got out. Zac Elliott ( Jokers Trains) & Jay Escamilla ( 3rd Rail) They were quickly wisked through Jersey traffic and the coming days adventure began. Paraphrasing.
There were trips to train clubs, home layouts, home collections, museums, stores and points of interest.
There was food and beverages of all sorts, music and singing, conversation and laughter, joking and horse play.
There was gathering, friendship and jubilation. Mirth and merriment.
There was a celebration that encompassed about 70 people from all walks of life, with many others contributing to this pirate ship throughout the weekend. So looking back, hundreds of people enjoyed the F word. FUN. Say it, FUN. Live it, FUN. Enjoy it. FUN. A huge thanks to our skipper of this pirate ship, Captain Andy. Thank you.
