The stalking in question is "theme park stalking". It's quite harmless, you really never know the outcome, but can be fun. Here's how it works...

Upon entering a theme park, you scout out a family that looks like they are going to take lots & lots of pictures (you know the kind - the family with matching shirts, etc...).

You do your best to covertly trail them for the day, making sure you get yourself into the background of every picture.

You hope that when they put the pictures together, they notice the same people/person appearing in the background of every family picture.

(for a real daring trick, wear a t-shirt with your e-mail address on it- maybe they will contact you? )

Sonya-

Thanks for the memories!!! The place where the video starts is now the golf cart parking across from the Settlement Bus Depot. DH & I used to ride the train several times a day when at FtW. I cried big time when it was taken away. The roundhouse is still at FtW. When you come in the entrance, the first right after the Outpost Bus Stop that is a CM only road, leads back to the roundhouse. It is now used for maintenance & storage.

I'm going to guess that it was a combination of maintenance & liability which led to the decision to terminate the train.

From what I read there were relaibility issues with the narrow gage and small size of the rail, the engines had a smaller water capacity than the engineers liked and at times the engines ran out of water and had to be towed in.
The general feel I had after reading about it was that it was expensive to run and maintain, that coupled with the complaints about the noise may have speeded its demise.

So don't delay act now supplies are running out
Allow, if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer is shun you might as well be walking on the sun

Guess the name of the song and/or artist. I know Rog you will know this one.

I hold on so nervously
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far, has not been good
It’s been ****ty
And I feel awkward, as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place

Ok, I clicked on that link and it tells me I don't have permission to view this forum. Oh! The humanity!

I am so sorry Jen, I am still getting used to the new forum, I forgot to set the permissions for that new one, and nobody but me could get in. Talk about having a conversation with yourself? I think I fixed it, try it and let me know if you have any problems.

Hey guys, you know who you are, where have you been, you tell me you are coming over to visit, and you never do. I am starting to get a complex that you don't like me

Well...today was the last hectic day of the month of May!!!!! Wife celebrated her 19th birthday()!!!! Presents are done, Im finished cooking dinner and cleaning the kitchen, happy birthdays been sung, and the cakes been eaten...shes now sprawled out on the couch watching MAD MONEY with a "wild grape" Smirnoff at her side, and a very satisfied grin on her face from a long day of slaving me.....oh, the labors of love! I payed all the bills for her today, and we in the clear for a couple of weeks....maybe my MD trip wont be as hard to make happen as I thought.

Life seems to have a light way down that long dark tunnel after all!!! Hope Im not jinxing myself!
