A look at travel for the coming week...
Friday, May 28, 2021
The President will travel to Wilmington, Delaware, where he will remain over the Memorial Day weekend.

Oh no.. well wx forecast for the early weekend is not looking good. cloudy with good chance of rain off and on.
Talked to local small plane pilot the other day with a Vans RV-4 and they are not happy as they are essentially grounded on the weekends
when Potus is in town.. Working class pilots who mainly get their flying time on the weekends.

Way off topic saw short live tube vid clip earlier tonight of Norfolk +Western 611 steam train being towed North at Charlottesville by 2 NS locos.
Will be up my way later eventually with stop into the Strasburg Pa RR yard.. What a beauty! Always brings the rail fans out
