I made a video of the shots I took as I went around Dave’s RR. The video is about 5 minutes long, but the trip actually took about 45 minutes.

Dave McCurdy’s RR has come a long way since I last saw it. When there last all the track was in, but very little of the back fill and ballast was done. It’s really starting to look good.

Jon, David covered vaste areas of bare ground with landscaping cloth and ballast sand. I suggested to Jan if this drought continues, we may be able to do the same thing. Yep, really dirty look. ;-)
