We haven't decided if we are going yet but if we do we would look at the
train as an option.

We're just putting out feelers here to see if anyone is interested in riding
the train from the Kirkwood Station to Jefferson City for the Paparazzi &
Pasta Palooza!
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=gc1jrz7
The train leaves Kirkwood Sat. AM at 8:59 and arrives in Jeff City at 10:51
AM. The return train leaves at 7:03 PM and arrives in Kirkwood at 8:58PM.
There is also a train leaving Jeff at 10:33 AM and arriving in Kirkwood at
10:51 AM if anyone wants to stay over night. Sunday also has the 7:03 train
too. They have a snack counter on all the trains with, sandwiches, soda,
coffee, etc.
Remember, these times may change due to a derailment, flood, cows on the
tracks, and freight trains (freight trains have the right of way).
Round trip fares are $34; $30.60 for AAA members, and $28.90 for Seniors (62
and over). I'm not sure if this includes tax. Everyone would be responsible
for their own tickets which can be purchased thru Amtrak at
http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak
How we get from the train station to the event (3 miles) is still in
discussion. 1 option is to rent a car(s) or a 15 passenger van. This way we
can cache until the event starts at 5PM. Or we can keep the car/van for
those that want to stay overnight and can on Sunday until the morning or
evening train back to Kirkwood. Problem is just an Enterprise and Avis are
near the train station and Enterprise is closed on Sundays so we pay until
Monday AM. Avis closes at noon on Sunday so that may be a problem too.
We could make the trainride an event if there's enough interest.
Let me know if there's any interest in this.
