    Got some shots of the Goose at Ridgeway...looks like more DEconstruction than REconstruction at this point. The entire passenger compartment has been removed (and is leaning indignantly against the fence).

    Well, hopefully they've a plan behind it all. It would be nice to see this artifact restored.

    They have a plan but I wonder if they are running short on funding. In truth, the type of restoration they are attempting should be done in a protected area like a building, rather than in the open where the depredations of the environment only add to continued deterioration. I will try to keep regular updates as the Spring/Summer progress.

    Yes, it's much better if there is a indoor facility for this kind of work like is at the CRRM where others have been since restored

    Oops I jumped the gun a bit. Have a safe trip and don't forget your camera.

    Lack of adequate facilities was my first impression when seeing these pictures. It can be done, but the work takes much longer and actually eventually costs more.
