Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad

Today was a free day, some went golfing, some went exploring, some went shopping and some just kicked back to relax.

Ed and I went back to this cute shop The Purple Cow, where we found two neat lamps for the Yerington house. Explored the town a bit and back to camp to hang out with some of our group. We were resting up for the evening festivities..

A group of about 38 signed up for the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad BBQ, train ride and campfire. The meal was New York Steak, or Chicken and for those that prefer a Vegetarian meal. One thing about this traveling group, we can find fun and humor anywhere. The steaks were pretty darn good. OK, for desert there was OMG bread pudding. Long story about bread pudding and Ed and I contributed ours to anyone who wanted them in our group.

We boarded our outdoor car and some were in the cars with tops and we were pretty darn cozy as other people moved our belongings down and took our spots. We take this kind of stuff in stride, well I did want to confront them but what good is that going to do, they would not have moved. The ride was about two miles up the road and at the end of that part of the ride, an area with seating and a campfire. The foursome group that entertained us through dinner were there to do sing a longs and stories. A lot of good old campfire songs and the funny part is to see some of the "younger teens" looking extremely bored. I suppose not much of this type of activity is popular these days unless on a mobile device. We headed back down to the train station, the weather was nice, just a light jacket needed. We got back to camp about 10:00 pm, everyone went to their home on wheels for the night.
