This weekend we took a trip to West Virginia (5 hour drive West) to the
to take in the autumn foliage. It was splendid!
The Cass Scenic Railroad is the same line built in 1901 to haul lumber to the mill in Cass. The locomotives are the same Shay locomotives used in Cass, and in the rainforests of British Columbia for more than a half-century. Many of the passenger cars are old logging flat-cars that have been refurbished.

Golden Light
Thaddeus dressed for the occasion and was a big hit with the other passengers.
He was so excited to go on the train, and at 1am the next night we heard him say choo choo in his dreaming state.
Janelle alerted me to this character and I just had to get his photo. It turned out to be my favorite shot of the weekend
Well maybe this was my favorite shot of the weekend...
Whittaker Station is located four miles up the track from Cass. This is part of the Whittaker Camp One exhibit, a recreated logging camp of the 1940's which shows both the living quarters and the tools of the loggers.
The next morning we met up with Janelle's cousins from Virginia and enjoyed a beautiful hike with them. This caterpillar intrigued me as I had not seen a white one before.

Beautiful photos as usual. Thanks for sharing! The fall colors, train, and all of you - spectacular!
One benefit of the Airforce - you get the federal holidays!
Love you!
