On Saturday, April 2 the TerHaars and Jack and I took this wonderful 5 hour train ride north from Durango, Colorado to Cascade Canyon. During the summer it goes 25 miles further to the town of Silverton.

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.
