Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo..Karla 77 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yesterday we went over to the Carolwood Pacific meeting room at the Wilderness Lodge DVC building. We met Dave and saw Russell. Both were very busy talking to the many people interested in Disney railroads.If you want more information on Disney railroads, one of the places you can go to is www.fortwildernessrailroad.comHere's a few pictures from around the room.Here is Dave Leaphart.If you're interested in FWRR, you can purchase these books and the mugs too.Notice the spike and part of the track in the upper center of this picture.These are actual blueprints from the FWRRHere’s Russell’s train…I’m sure many of you will remember candy for the kids being dumped from those cars on Halloween night at the Fort.Way in the back there is a VW Camper Van. Next to it is a tiny, purple FF.net sign. Sorry, but I forgot to get a closer picture.Today we gathered with others interested in the FWRR. Dave lead a walk around the Fort telling stories of the FWRR and pointing out specific stops and areas that still exist within the Fort where you will find remnants of the old railroad. The walk had 11 different stops and was about 3 miles around the Fort.That’s Dave on the left pointing out the FWRR stops by the Settlement.Thanks to Dave, Russell and the many others for preserving a most important part of Disney history.

If so, give him a :bighug: for me!Nope, sorry. But I will be sure to pass on the hugs. We had him with us for 10 weeks on an extended summer trip up to Maine, Acadia NP, and many places in between. We just returned him home about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Mom and Dad said it was time for him to stay home a while and rejoin the family. We're hoping to have him back with us to see the Christmas lights or maybe early next year. Hope our paths cross again sometime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
