OCTOBER AOPC FIELD TRIP PLANS

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18^TH

FALL COLORS RAILROAD TRIP FROM VAN BUREN TO WINSLOW

By

 Nick Dawson

Yes, we are already planning our October AOPC field trip! The reason for the very far forward planning is because the trip involves a popular rail trip from Van Buren to Winslow through the Boston Mountains during fall “leaf season”. The trip is planned for Saturday, October 18^th, and the train leaves Van Buren at 11:00 a.m. I have been informed by the railroad company that this trip is always fully booked up by June or July, hence the early warning. If you are interested in coming on this field trip you must book your own seats on the train. The cost is $50.93 per person (adult coach class), including tax, and can be booked online at www.vanburentours.com and navigating to the Fall Colors tour on October 18^th. Don’t delay and book soon if you are planning to be on this AOPC trip!

            For those who might not want to take the 4 hour train ride (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) downtown Van Buren itself has some lovely Victorian architecture and a quaint shopping area and would make a nice photo location too.

            Mike and Beverley Cooper will be your trip leaders and we hope to see you there.
