Lawrence LaBranche commented on Zachary M. Toler's event Dolbeer Donkey Days at Fort Humboldt"Several things to note. The event is not organized by THA. That would be state parks. Lastly, this is the last Donkey Days due to the park closing end of July. Steamups will continue until on a monthly schedule until park closure."

Hey, Lawrence,
are there still seats for the speeder rides tomorrow? I probably can't make it this year, but it looks fun. THA will do more rides next year, right?

Thanks for the info! I actually ran into some of the Medford guys today while on my usual "train photo safari" and got an invitation from them! Also ran into a few of the guys at the roundhouse this afternoon and got an invite to come by 7ish and get a tour and some photos! What a great bunch of folks! :)
Are you going to be around Saturday? I actually found the NWP Network through your blog, so it would be kinda nice to meet you in person!
Regards,
JMH

- Lawrence,
In Humbolt for the weekend, would like to take my 8 year old son on one of the August 7th speeder runs, any chance of still getting seats? The website is not accepting new reservations for this date.
Thanks,
JMH
