Bob's Corner
Even hard-bitten newspaper guys, including me, myself and I (Bob, El Jefe, and the Nooseman) get tired sometimes. It’s a weariness stemming from constantly dealing with the 26 letters of the alphabet, and feeding the weekly beast.
Therefore, my offering for this issue is comprised of some of the photos I took during the past three-plus weeks while our daughter and two of our grandgirls visited. It’s said that a photo takes the place of a thousand words, so here goes:
Granddaughter Natalie Kaplan, soon to be 5, caught her first fish during an outing at Lake Selmac. The visitors also toured Oregon Caves National Monument and Great Cats World Park.
Our little guests and their mom enjoyed going to Yreka, Calif. to ride the Blue Goose train of the Yreka Railroad. This shot was taken at a former tavern and hotel in Montague, which is reached via the train ride through Shasta Valley from Yreka.
The 1925 Baldwin 2-8-2 Mikado steam engine for the Blue Goose is a nostalgic part of the experience. Our visitors, (and the editor), liked the huffing locomotive and its piercing whistle. At the end of the day (below) the Natalie, her sister, Ella, 2, and their mom, Vicki were ready for cooler weather.
