Hello Forumites!

On my last post of 9-16, I said that I would return "sometime in November".

Well, it's been exactly 2 months, so here I am again, sometime in November!

I'm anxious to chat for awhile until my next departure, after the Holidays.

Hi Hal,

welcome back. I'm wondering "which" high desert? It's one of my fave places to be. I took a trip over to Oregon's high desert last June. Wanted to live there for sure, but I do like the moderate climate here on the coast as well;)
 
Hi Hal, good to see you! Have you finished your work on your model railroad and antique Reed organ? Would love to see some pics if you have time!

Denise1952,

My High Desert location is the western portion of the Mojave Desert in Southern California, at an altitude of 3000 feet, up the Cajon Pass from San Bernardino.

Palm Springs is in the Low Desert.

Washington State is all desert east of the Cascades.

Ok, and thanks for the info Hal. I didn't realize Palm Springs was low desert. I was there, as well as Joshua Tree area so that is interesting. I remember it seeming like a different world, smell was wonderful and billions of stars at night. Those areas you talk about are the real desert;)
 
Hey SeaBreeze,

A model railroad is never finished...even a simple one like my HO-scale "Calico Freight Lines", which I'm building now, with 67 feet of trackage not counting sidings.

I've already changed my mind about the track routing, which required pulling up spikes on a portion of the trackage to allow for a more complex route.

Ballasting the track is also a messy, laborious task!

I've also lost interest in the Reed Organ; it would probably be like the many other musical instruments of the past that I tired of quickly.

However, I'll never forsake my Grand Piano!

Hal (Will provide pics as portions Calico Freight Lines are completed.)
