If that location is not available, I would like all of You to pick a spot to get together on SUNDAY August 23nd. You all know what to do and bring. I hope You can make it still happen. I will find out if Guy has made presentation plaques and let You know everything I hear. I have been told that Tony, Danny, Austin and Darren will try to make the Bar-B-Que happen.

Charlie69 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Tony Is the Wig Wam the hang out again this year? Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Generally the Wigwam has been the "after party" location due to a few of Us staying there. I am doubtful if that will be happening this year. I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE WIGWAM FOR NOT ONLY THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME BUT SECURITY IN FONTANA. MIKE 1 Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 OK a big TY to Tony Guy & Mike for the updates. I just edited the original post to read the correct date of the bbq which is SUNDAY August the 23RD. Guy has reserved a gazebo & will be brining most of what we need in terms of tables & bbq supplies & we'll need you guys to pitch in if you can with food & drinks [no alcohol allowed per the park] to ensure everybody can get a plate.This years event will be very low key & relaxed with the possibility of no T shirts or plaque presentation. That being said it will still be a good day to visit with old friends & take truck pics. I have sent out multiple texts to any & all who have attended in the past & if need be ill make some reminder calls in the hopes we get a good turnout. I may or may not be able to attend this year due to my career change & the training associated to that...I want to be there & Ill try hard to attend. PM me here on Ratsun or email me at datsun320620@yahoo.com if you have any questions & ill respond as quick as i can & thanks :thumbup: 2 Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Folks ! ! First, I want to COMMEND You all for carrying on with Our 8th annual event ! ! You all know that It is the PASSION of Us ALL, not just one or two of Us, that makes this event happen every Year. I will still make every effort to be there but in the final few months of My railroading career I had the opportunity of a lifetime to learn how to operate a locomotive by the new remote control system. Most railroad yards over the past 10 years or so have changed over to this form of operation. The typical locomotive engineer that has been operating locomotives in switching yards all over the country have been removed and a remote control "box" worn on the chest of the switchmen has been adapted. A class opened up in Winslow Arizona and I was accepted to learn the system. Mark is also in Winslow and in the off time We have been able to explore this wonderful part of the country. This is important with all that We both have been having to learn. We both know that all of You will miss Us this year but We also know that work and family come before hobbies. We have been in contact with many of You and have heard that You will be doing Your best to still attend the BarB-Que. Make it the best You can ! ! This is YOUR yearly event ! ! Thank You and the best to You all ! ! Mark and I will be there in spirit ! ! Mike 2 Quote Link to comment
