This year's WGRF will be the third weekend of October (10/17-19) in Indianapolis. The unusually late scheduling reportedly was done for better light and fall foliage potential on the Indiana Rail Road. Lodging information is posted on the wgrf.org web site. Be sure to use .org, not .com, or you'll end up on a Buffalo radio station's site.

Worth my visits ... first 2 on 4/5/91, 3rd on 4/14/91 ... Hurley NM was the subject of a 'mini-revolt' at the annual WGRF get together when 'masterphots' and I tried to get the votes to pick Hurley for the site of the following years WGRF.

A couple of days were spent in the Jackson area trying to capture some West Tennessee shots. Day one was a bust but day 2 was productive. I managed one roster shot and several action shots.

There are probably quite a few photos like this one that I took @ Council Bluffs on 9/4/93. WGRF was in Omaha that year and this was a set-up for our group.

This year, for the first time in over 50 years, WGRF was cancelled due to Covid. I decided to take my usual WGRF trip, usually encompassing 2-3 weeks of roaming around the country.
