| Check out at the hotel was at 11 AM, and I woke up at 10. Much later than I had wanted to. We were in a big rush to get everything out of the room, but afterwards since we were beginning so late anyway, we decided to stay a little longer in the lodge. I used up the remainder of my Paw Points and got a new air hockey table from the arcade. BNSF sealed the hostile takeover of CSX in bowling, and we bought some shirts in the gift shop before closing the 2023 Great Wolf Trip. Another phenomenal trip to my favorite destination. Train wise we started the day in Bellevue. TJ had to be home by 8 and we didnt even begin watching trains until after noon, so we had to rush things. We considered following NS south to Marion and CSX over to Muncie, but we decided to go with the original plan and follow the much busier CSX line back west then just drive south to Muncie on State Road 3. Our day began up on the Ohio 4 overpass overlooking the engine shops in Moorman Yard. Much emptier than it used to be here, but regardless, there was still some good stuff sitting out front. |
