The Saturday trip is from Harrison St. Mpls., MN to Willmar and return via the original "Empire Builder" route;
Sunday will be 400 Harrison St., Mpls., MN to Boylston Jct. just south of Superior, WI and return, the route of
GN's "Gopher" and "Badger". That run, north of Sandstone, MN on the Kettle River is quite scenic. The fall
colors should be quite close to peak.

All I know is that a friend told me that when he typed
"milw 261" into Google, the top Search result said this
under the URL: "This site may be hacked."

On Sat., Sept. 28, I posted a question about what happened
to the 261's web site on the Friends' FaceBook site, which the
Friends had last posted to on May 24 (!) and they replied to
me yesterday (Sept. 24):
"We are working on the website as fast as we can, dont
forget we are also running a cross country trip."

The "cross-country trip" is the "Station to Station" art
train that is using some of their rolling stock.

I wish them well in getting their website up and running soon.
The Station to Station trip just ended recently, but the cars npw
have to be gotten back to Minneapolis, so their work is far from
over.
