May 31 to June 1 overnight trip to the Tennessee Valley Railroad where we'll enjoy a 4-5 hour train ride on the Hiawassee River Loop. Go to tvrail.com and click on "view all train rides". Then click on "Hiawassee Loop" to learn more and order tickets. Those of us committed to this trip will be getting Dome tickets ($99) soon, as there are only 12 and they will sell out soon. Observation car ($85), Crown class ($62), and standard adult (52) are also good options. For those uncomfortable with buying tickets so far ahead of time, know that you can get trip insurance for 15% of the ticket.   

Currently the plan is to leave Franklin on Saturday AM in car pools. We will have dinner and stay over night in the Cleveland, Delano, Etowah area and depart from the Delano Depot on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 for our train ride. We will depart for home Sunday evening. There will be time to visit the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga (no additional cost) and the L &N Railway Museum in Etowah (free) as desired.
