Paducah Day 2

Paducah Day 2

The Heat Advisory has been following us around and continues to do so, just to irritate me.

Chorus: “It’s always all about You!”.

Me: “Yes, of course it is.”

We’ll visit all the historical homes and museums that have air conditioning. We never miss a railroad museum. As a kid, I always wanted to be a locomotive engineer (until my father convinced me that doctors make way more money). The RR museum wasn’t very impressive except for the Engineer Simulator, which contained a real diesel electric locomotive control booth and very realistic video views out the windows. The sequence was shot in Montana in areas we’re familiar with and ended with pulling into the station in Whitefish, MT. One time we visited the front page story in the Whitefish newspaper was “Mountain Lion Takes Up Residence Under Ms Suzy’s Front Porch.” A volunteer staff member is at your side to remind you which dynamic braking system and throttle setting to use, which horn signals for what, etc. It was really cool!

The Famer’s Market was cute and fun to visit. We slept well with very little wake action and enjoyed having AC and water.Meer informatie
