| Bruce and Carole Dicken visited us in early July, and we took a trip on the Tennessee Valley RR Museum train behind consolidation # 610. | |||
|
Our departure point is Grand Junction, headquarters of the TVRM. July 2, 2006 | ||
|
The standard trip runs from Grand Junction to the East Chattanooga shops of the TVRM. Here we see the 610 being turned on the turntable there. July 2, 2006 | ||
| On July 10th we were in Wisconsin, and on our way to Minocqua. Between Cadott and Boyd we came upon this magnificent American Bald Eagle. | |||
|
As we drove up on him, he was making breakfast off a roadkill. At our approach, he leaped into the air and flew several hundred yards ahead of us to a perch in a tree. July 10, 2006 | ||
|
I managed a couple shots in the tree before he again took wing. I was glad that he chose to fly across the road rather than back into the woods. July 10, 2006 | ||
|
I kept the motor drive working as he swooped across the road. July 10, 2006 | ||

...into the woods and out of view. July 10, 2006 | ||
| We drove into Owen where I took a couple shots of relics of the Fairchild & NorthEastern Railway. | |||

This building is quite old, and appears to have used the F&NE for shipments. The open door looks ready for a boxcar even today. July 10, 2006 | ||
