More of the Same, Friday, 6/20/14

Friday, June 20, 2014

It was nice weather in the sixties for most of the day.  Chuck worked on the train and Cindy worked for about an hour at the Gypsy Arcade and then moved over to the gold panning operation when Duel went home sick.  Upon arrival there, she took a picture of the geese family that lives in a pond on site.

Cindy was hopping all day with a steady stream of tourists wanting to pan for gold.  Even the afternoon rain did not deter them, so Cindy stood out in the rain shower with them for quite a while giving them instructions.  (She has become pretty good at faking gold panning competence.)

Chuck is a comedian at heart, and it was mentioned several times today that he had all the train passengers laughing during several of the trips.  He doesn’t give them the official train spiel as he was never provided with a script, but he has also become pretty good at faking tour guide competence.  Apparently it doesn’t matter as long as the passengers have a good time.   

When we got home we discovered that Daniel had prepared supper for everyone.  He grilled hamburgers and sausage and also cooked some chicken Lo Mein.  He did an excellent job, and we were most appreciative of his efforts.
