10:20 am Geocaching
I wanted to register a find for this day of the year so I decided to have a second look for a nearby cache in Coalhurst. The wind was up again making it rather miserable out there, but I soon had the find in hand. I took the same strategy as last time but this time I saw the first container which gave the final coordinates for the cache. This was another cache for Premium members only, so there is no link to the cache website.

This brought my total finds for January to 10 so there are still 21 days to fill in next year.
1:30 PM Model Trains
I have begun to think seriously about making a mountain out of a molehill. I have changed the base of the refinery at Distillery Row and moved it a bit to make more room for the mountain. I am experimenting with using some plastic potting containers as a possible base for the mountain but will play with this a bit more before making a decision.
I then ran the operations for 1:00 PM for Session 2. This involved 4 different trains, but no switching. I particularly enjoy the sound effects when the steam locomotive is pulling the unit coal train.
