missing the boat or in this case. .the tram


Yesterday we did our annual drive to see the autumn colors.
I had our route all mapped out. .
and was looking really forward to a ride down .. .down. ..down .. .
on the
Hells' gate tram.


 


When we pulled into the parking lot there were lots of vehicles.

I said. . "good sign"
He said. . ". . .which sign"
I said. .."that there are still lots of cars here"
He said. . ."what does the sign say?"
I said. . "10-4"

 

I looked at the time. .
and documented it for your amusement.

 

So. ..we rushed to the fence. .
and watched the last of them come back up.
Last year. .
we missed the last day of the season by one day.
This year. . .we missed the last ride by 10 minutes. .
I'd say we're making great strides. .
wouldn't you?

Happy October everyone.
I hope everything you hope to catch this weekend. .
is yours.
On Monday I'll return to the rest of the ride.

all for now. .

  3. Oh shoot. For some reason I think I have taken that ride with parents as a kid. Must ask mom. So glad to see fall go swished up your way too. What kind of trees were yellow up your way?

  11. Aww... that is one place we wanted to go with the kids, but never got there! I did not realize they close for the season. That is good to know... too bad you missed it. Maybe we can catch it with you next time.
