That sounds awesome, we're totally up for that. Is this going to be listed as a special excursion train on the Green Mountain site or will reservations be somewhere else?

Yeah, I was also thinking there's too much cool stuff happening and that we won't be able to make it all.

Anyone know of any good hobo drinks?

Still no link on the GMRR site  I'm tempted to sign up for the Easter Bunny Express though.
Hey are there any guys flying solo for the Tiki Train? I'd offer a spot to the ladies but my lady might not be too keen on the idea. Anyway I'm looking to split the cost of a room just for the night after the Tiki Train. I'm sure I'll be in no shape to drive 3+ hours home by the time the event is over. PM me if you're interested.
