Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.










The train is packed that morning to Sumpter




















Damn bandito! We are being robbed!










They got away with our wallets and gold. BTW, the speed limit is 15 mph.










This is the famous gold dredge machine, an environmental disaster!









Arriving at Sumpter Station










The train reverse and moves to the other end






















Ready to return to McEwen at 12:00 noon









At the end, I shot all those "banditos"











It was a wonderful trip.










Taking more woods and water for the second trip of the day.
