Ken, it would be great if you could make it to one of these someday. I plan to bring my camera and take a lot of pictures. The meet is next weekend and the web site has been updated with more information about the presentations. http://www.milwelectric.org/2011/09/2011-crf-milwaukee-road-fall-meet/ It should be a great time!

If I attend, I will only be able to attend on Sunday. If I come I could envision myself like I was an engineer on the Snoqualmie turn climbing the grade up to Cedar Falls as I ride my bike up to the festivities.
Meet recap and short survey We've posted a recap about our meet at Cedar Falls (North Bend, WA) last weekend to our web site. You can read about it here: http://www.milwelectric.org/2011/09/2011-crf-milwaukee-road-meet-report/ We've received very positive feedback from attendees about the meet, but attendance was lower than we'd like it to be. If you didn't attend, we'd like you to fill out a short (6 question) survey to help us make the meet next year better: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SPQ8MPZ Thanks, Paul Paul Krueger Secretary Cascade Rail Foundation "Remembering the Milwaukee Road in Washington" www.milwelectric.org
