Star Ship Monaco, Flight of the Monarch,Voyage 3, Day 2

Star Date 7-07-2016

After waking at 9:30 AM this morning and enjoying a large breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and bacon and finishing that after 11:00 AM, a decision was quickly reached to spend another day in the vacation wonderland of Snook Texas.
We walked to the office to pay for another day and learned the history of the one year old park. The owners are a young couple that have put in a lot of work building this place and they did it right. They are also watermelon farmers as their families were before them.
Then we walked to the pond. Out on the pier many fish could be seen in the water along with hungry begging ducks. You get nothing from us ducks, get a job!
This park has excellent wifi so we were able to catch up on personal work. Brenda was able to book parlor car seats on the steam engine Cumbres&Toltec Train from Chama to Osier Colorado. The train climbs to an elevation of 10,015 feet at Cumbres pass, the highest mountain pass reached by rail in the the United States. I can tell that much alcohol will be consumed before this point!  Round trip on the train of course. We will have breakfast on the train and lunch in Osier.
She also booked seats in a parlor car for the Darango train. Even though we rode this train 2 years ago, well, we just can't get enough of the old steam trains.
Did I ever say it was hot here?  IT IS HOT!
So after a light lunch it was nap time due the fact IT IS HOT.
In the morning we will be heading to Hobbs New Mexico then turn to the northwest towards Chama New Mexico.
