Jack and Mary Jagt are retired from the work of trading in natural rubber (Jack) and Intensive Care Nursing (Mary). They love to travel in their RV - nicknamed the Merrie Yacht. Recently moved from the home they raised their family in to a condo in a smaller town, they now have fewer home responsibilities and hope to be on the road more often.

The Botanical Gardens/Zoo had the most wonderful model train set up! Covering quite and extensive area and a volunteer in a shed manning the switches, several trains made their way around sets that were fantastic! There was the Grand Canyon, complete with Colorado River rapids, dams, bridges and canyon overlooks - even the Bright Angel Trail with mules. There were towns from the 60s, wild west towns with saloons, hobo camps under the bridge, a wrecked train at the base of a high trestle and trains, trains, trains - criss-crossing each other and chugging and tooting as they went. It was terrific!
