Today the NWP continues train movements by sheer grit. Sitting in our cars or portable chairs we enjoy a view of the Eel River and the surrounding mountains. We have come 63.7 miles into the heart of the canyon. The afternoon return trip is a steady run over now familiar track. At the afternoon Shively stop we're again welcomed with coffee and snacks.
Several people buy honey from among the choices of apple, clover, and mountain.
Dinner is at the new Fortuna Community Center. Sunday's safety meeting gathers under heavy clouds. Today we have seven members of the California Conservation Corps helping with flagging. Under Vic Neves' supervision they leap frog ahead helping with the three busy intersections in Fortuna. Our speed is slow all the way to Fernbridge where the old NWP station is still standing at mp 268.7.
