Step 2....called the train office and once I buy the tickets, which won't be available until about Dec. 1, they're mine forever. Ok, now I think I know what cinders you're talking about....from the train, right?? DUH! Lightner Creek sounds more like us and I will check it out. I liked that Union was closeby and they noted that the train passes through the CG several times daily, but also don't want to be so squeezed in that we can't have some quiet time. The person I spoke to this morning mentioned some shops in Silverton.....antique shops?? others?? especially interesting?? What should I be thinking about??
He melted over the puppy being delivered to his office, what's not to melt about an 8 week old Irish Setter?? But when he realizes I've just committed to $$$$, well, I'm a bit nervous over this. Have bought houses with less jitters.
Weatherwise, the person I talked to this morning - aside from sounding 15 years old - said anywhere from chilly in the morning to 80 later in the day....sound about right??? When we went to the UP 3 years ago we were cautioned numerous times to bring heavy jackets because it can get cold.....we were there for what was called a "highly unusual heat wave"....it was HOT by TN standards.
Ok, so I'm still pondering this, but leaning strongly to just making the jump. At least I have until Dec to weigh the consequences or lack thereof. Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
