Work was tough. But life after work was not bad. There was a village with electricity, running water, indoor plumbing, churches, even tennis courts and more.
Lately, the Forest has been calling me simply because of its aura. I've been riding past a back road sign proclaiming "Southern Forest Heritage Museum" for years.
I figured it to be a "rinky dink" side show open on Saturday sometimes. I looked it up on and sure enough it had credentials. Actually, there was an old train engine on the site, all the bait I needed to give it a try.
Spring Break was upon us and my grandson was with us.. I try to do something "educational" with him when he's here and a peek at the history of the Southern Forest seemed like a good idea. Plus, I'd get a look at that old steam engine. But, the ride/trip is getting ahead of itself. Let's start at the Start. You know the drill, hit the Button. |
