Ok updated information....
Sunday June 30th Train Ride to and from Metamora
White Water Valley Railroad Depot
Connersville, Indiana. 47331
Depart on train at Noon for Metamora
Arrive at Metamora at around 1:20pm
2 hours to explore the historical town.
We will be taking a boat ride on a horse drawn canal boat where the captain will explain the history of the canal system and it's importance to the area in the days before rail service and semi truck service. We will also be visiting the grist mill. The town is filled with historical buildings and shops (it's a tourist town).
We board the train at around 3:30pm for the train ride back to Connersville, Indiana.
Should arrive back in Connersville at 4:40pm then we will convoy back to the Campground.
It is recommended that we either pack a lunch to eat on the train or I have scored a deal with a local eatery in Connersville for us to pick up a to go lunch. One thing is there is NO GLASS ALLOWED on the train - this is because the floor of the train is concrete and glass shatters..

Anyone hear from Elijah (elijahdiesel) or his Dad. He's the guy with the awesome black crewcab dually with the flatbed from last year's rally.

Been chatting with John on Facebook and he said Elijah can't wait to hit the road to be rally bound.
In me best Ahnuld voice. They'll be back!
Sounds like he's got a Banks system setting on top of that monster now too.
That's good to hear. They were a cool surprise at your rally Ron. Good guys for sure and a really cool bricknose.

Ron,
Tell him to get in touch with me either here - Facebook or give him my cell number to call me. I don't have him down on my paper work. I would love to get another eye on his rig - it was beautiful.
Another update....
The other day Sherman and I ran over to see about putting the finals on the 500 track Museum and the Childrens Museum. and I have the information just need to put it together in a format that will be easy to understand - Like directions traffic around the track and children's museum can be hairy at times. I still need to run our route a few more times to make sure it will work for us. I want it to be an easy drive that anyone can follow.

Will do Travis.
i also got a call from Justin Klipa, the owner of the brick nose dump truck I restored last summer from PA and he's been given the information for the rally as he's wanting to make a a trip over as well hearing about us. This is the truck that my parents delivered out to him late last summer.
