Day trip for Gauge members

[tomustang]

I was thinking about a nice day trip for Gauge members in the eastern Pa ,western Jersey aria.
(of course all are welcome that want to join in) I checked some spots and figured that we could check out the #9 coal mine in Lansford Pa. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.no9mine.com">http://www.no9mine.com</a><!-- m --> and near by Jim Thorp the same day. In Jim Thorp there is the former CNJ station used by the Lehigh gorge scenic railway (they offer a train ride along the Lehigh river that we could take) there is also an Ho layout in the building next door. There are plenty of other things to do in Jim Thorp. I would like to set this up for this spring or summer let me know what you think and if you want to go so we can set a date. I am open to any other ideas so if you got one lets here it.

I'm in.
