I will depart the hotel at 10:00 am heading west to the Thorncrown Chapel (glass chapel) then plan to follow the short route No. 3 Greg has laid out slow and easy around route 187 to Beaver Park and the one way suspension bridge. arriving back at Eureka Springs train station about 12:00 for the 12:30 train departure
Please make your reservations.
All Aboard!
Reservation made, Margaret and I will join you for this excursion.

Lunch train reservation made. The lady said there were about 40 seats left so there should be plenty of room if others would like to join in.

Two more seats taken by Freida and me.

Since we already have someone cutting and stack the wood and someone stoking the boiler I guess I can sleep in a little late.

Roberta & I booked our reservation today for Wednesday Lunch Train. Lady on phone said they were preparing something special for the Crossfire Group. Even if not, get together ought to be fun and a nice retreat from our driving adventures in the Ozarks.

Please make your reservations.
All Aboard!

With the group staring to get large (by my count upwards of 30-32) we might want to consider leaving around 0930 if all are planning to go on the short road trip.


And getting together on Tuesday evening to firm up plans is a good idea.


Later,
