Finding coffee in Antonito before 6 is pretty difficult!

Good planning! We could have used a pot on the Goose 5 trip. Luckily the local cafe had some locals inside but no light on having a BS session and they took pity on us and made a pot to share. Plus eggs were good. IIRC it was the Windmill.

Thank you, Joe!! MUCH appreciated.

Love the grey scale, Rich. That really could be 1950.

Nice shooting at the Sublette water plug. Did they go to Osier to turn the train?

Sharon, we went past Sublette however not quite to Mud Tunnel. Then we backed all the way to Big Horn. Picked up the water car and turned. At this time of year we were the only train on the line so it was possible.
