    Ups - 85$ might be a bit stuff to only drop in for an hour or so...
    It obviously wasn't meant to be...

    The $85 is for all week registration. If you only want to go to the public show Friday or Saturday, its $8 per day

    I'm hoping to make a connection to where one of the layouts will allow me to run at least one dcc-equipped engine on their layout.

    Jim, just bring it on down to the FreeMoN setup, and have either WiThrottle or EngineDriver installed. Would be great to meet you in person.

    Rick, I may ask for you by name, if that's OK. It would be awesome if we could run some trains. I would buy pizza or whatever for the group if we could. Thanks Rick!

    Of course, but there will only be three of us: Mark, his father and me. So, two old guys and Mark. I will be in a blue shirt, with the Silicon Valley FreeMoN logo

    So today I woke up, in Winnemucca NV, around 4:30am, had breakfast and was on the road by 6:00am PDT! Pulled into the convention site at 12:15pm MDT (5 hours 15 minutes travel time, plus one hour time zone change). We had the combined layout running by 3pm. Still some quick fixes to do in the morning, but every thing is going great. Photos to come. If you are here, please drop by to visit.
