If we're not too late to enlist, Mister Nutbar and I will be there, too. Sounds like a fun outing.

don't worry you're in, I just need a minimum number to give to the Lehigh gorge scenic RR and the #9 mine. That now puts us at 12.

Looks like a won't be able to make it. Got a conflict with a birthday party for my soon to be 90 year old ex-railroader uncle. Can't miss that as he has been like a 2nd Father to me. Hope you guys have a nice time in Jim Thorpe.

[e-paw]

sorry to see that you wont make it. Have fun at the party and may be we'll catch you next time.

Things have been so crazy lately I completely missed the updates on this and Mikey’s PM until this morning.

I am still up in the air. It may come down to my wife’s work schedule. If see has to work then I won’t be able to go. If see does not work it will most likely be 4 of us. The bad thing is we won’t know her work schedule for June until mid-May.

[e-paw]

That's fine .. I'll contact them some time this week about the group rate and post it when I here back from them. Then we still have to come up with a time and place to meet. It's only 4/20 we have plenty of time to figure out details. Thanks again.

Well, it won't be that easy to get all the money there to you, and, for only a 5% discount, probably not worth the trouble. That's a savings of only $.60 - $.85 per head, depending on your choice of seat - it would cost me more than that to mail it to you.

Mister Nutbar and I will still be there, even without that discount.

Wayne

[e-paw]

yea I agree.

[ngauger]

DANG!!! That .60 would have paid a toll on the way there!! tooges:
