For our club run today we invited NMRA Div 5 members to join us for the train runs and the "Hobo Stew" dinner. Robbi is attending to the fire as our dinner will be cooked in an open kettle. |

Yep, it looks as though it is cooking nicely. It was good to see Judson Elliott had his engine fixed and running again, a familiar sight that we haven't seen for over a year. |

Ken Vendlinger waits as his riders unload from his Reading train at the station. LSLS and Div 5 members at the station as Dick shows a Div 5 member the controls on his Dinky Creek engine. |

With the flames licking the side of the cast iron kettle you can see the rolling boil as the dinner hour nears. Dicks' train at the station with George Davidson behind unloading. |

Judson departs as members and guests start to congregate at the station as dinner nears. Dick Clark with his switcher going to make another run before dinner. |
 |

Ken decides that there is enough time for another run around the track before dinner also. Mike Uhrich brought in these beautiful Dahlias for a table center piece. |

This last photo was my downfall. As I was taking the photo the lens cap got between the boards on the table and as I stood up the camera was yanked out of my hands and fell to the ground and jammed the lens in. |
Hence the reason for no more pictures of the event. |
