Trainfest

[Sumpter250]

Some day they'll do Trainfest in Phoenix... A few years ago we had a train show in Phoenix and another one in Scottsdale a year later. Well, they had both in the summer and they probably thought that Arizona isn't a good place to hold a show because of attendance. Duh, it was probably over 110 at the time and most people here stay home as much as they can or head up north where it's cooler. I wish they'd wake up and hold shows here in the winter when all the snowbirds are here from places like....uh, Wisconsin.

First time I drove to Phoenix- - 112 in the valley- - that night, up "on the Rim" it was below freezing !!!!!
My bones must have still been brittle from the chill, as that was the day I broke my ankle, and spent the rest of the weekend hobbling around with a stick !, before getting an "air cast " at the Hospital in Chandler ( not a plaster cast, as I had to drive back to Illinois - - - that was a "fun" trip )
