I apologize in the delay of updating the blog. Quite a bit has gone on since the last installment.
Over President's weekend the Family and I ventured out to Joshua Tree. We enjoyed our visit and worked on the yard crib. John Griffin had been kind enough to stockpile redwood planks, redwood posts and soil for the event.

Ten days pass and I receive a note from John indicating that he has filled the crib and is awaiting his next assignment. Wow this guy works amazingly fast!

I made a one day pilgrimage to the Club to assist on minor repairs and tweaking of the rail. Wiring has been updated to allow for both the upper loop and lower loop to be run from one transformer. An operating pedestal has been added to make operating more comfortable from a fixed transformer.

Gary Conley has been working on a custom Howe Truss bridge to connect the mainline to the yard crib and loop. As of April 20th the Bridge is 95% complete and ready for installation. More to follow... DG
