Kathie - You are in and your ticket is good for the whole race.  Stay with us and you will meet your goal.  By the way, What is your goal weight?

Mary -  I would love to see your train station.  It would be the perfect finish line.  I'm so pumped up and the race is going to take us to skinnytown. 

I have to say that I am very competitive.  *evil* The fruit right now is getting sweeter and sweeter.  I'm jumping off this platue and ready to go!  *woot*

Ok everybody in the caboose needs to say one place in their town where the caboose needs to stop and see.  I also need the city and state.  I will be making something for the winner of the caboose race to hang on their walls.  I'm not saying what but I do need the above mentioned infor.

OK RB in Fort Worth/Burleson it would have to be the stockyards...this is the place where they would drive the cattle and hold them in pens until they could ship them off to market.  The pens have been turned into shops and eating places and they still have a rustic hotel there.  Lots of fun things to do..you could order a pair of cowboy or cowgirl boots, ride the train...or shop...you could also eat not sure it too LDL or not but you might be able to find something....or you could just shop....

I am from Hamilton, Montana and if you were to come thru my very small town you would definately need to stop by the Marcus Daly Mansion.  It is now owned by the city and has been restored into a museum.  Just for fun I am sending the first part of a utube video of the mansion and it also has a picture of the Tammany Castle which was the stables for the magnificant horses.  
This is where my husband works and does the archiving for the museum.

I am from N.Fort Myers, Florida and would suggest stopping by to see The Shell Factory.. worlds largest shell collection and most beautiful coral.
There are many areas in the factory to appeal to a wide variety of vactioners.  There is a large Christmas area holding many collectables such as Dept. 56.  There is a petting zoo and a wondeful restaurant on the grounds with the typical Subway also in the Factory.. For those that are young at heart, you will enjoy the Teddy Bear Factory.  You can buy your fix for clothing, including t shirts, and sandels with purses and hats to meet  your fancy.  It would be hard to walk away without stopping by the jewelry area and you might even see a demonstration or two after visting the home made fudge for those that dare!
We welcome you to Florida in 2011.  I hope I can be there with you after my ride on the caboose of course!
Hugs!

I live in Cobourg, Ontario Canada.  When the Caboose travels through my town it would have to have a stop at the beach.  I know it is only Lake Ontario but our beach is beautiful and people from all around come through here to spend the day at the beach and we can even swim in the lake if it is not too cold for everyone  :D

When the train comes to my hometown of Gallipolis, Ohio we will have to stop and visit Bob Evans Farms. This is where the sausage king lived. The farm has a Bob Evans Restaurant, a gift shop, a craft shop, a museum dedicated to the history of the company, a picnic pavilion, a windmill, and a riding stables. We can have lunch at the restaurant if you would like. I love their grilled chicken with the wildfire sauce!! And yes, I knew Bob Evans personally. I'll bet joyful friend knew him too.

We also could down the road a little piece and go to Huntington's Kitchen, where Jamie Oliver started his food revolution in America.

I'll look forward to the train coming by.

Love all the whistle stops(5 so far) and I'm super glad that I have more than a year to figure this wall hanging out. 

I'm not saying anything more than it's a wall hanging.

For me, it is hard to just pick one place to stop.  I live in the San Francisco area.  Just 15 south of San Francisco is my town of Foster City.  So my must see spots here are:
Muir Woods - for large Redwood trees
The Bridges - Golden Gate, Bay Bridge, San Mateo just to name a few.
Napa Valley - Just for a taste of wine.
The Cable car - A bit of history. 
Half Moon Bay - for a view of the Pacific Ocean
Pescadero - A little touch of a small town feeling.

But for the thing that I like best is to take a run or walk with my dog along the bike path that runs along side the San Francisco bay.  You can go for miles.  The sunrise, sunsets and rainbows are just beautiful.  You will have times with high tide and low tide.  I like the nature.  Living in a large city, nature and water is a good thing to view.  And It is FREE.

Snoopy, I love San Francisco. Such an exciting city. I have been there many times. Everyone on the caboose would get a thrill going down those hills. We would all have such a good time stopping by San Francisco. We could visit China Town and have lunch!  Your city has alot to see just like San Deigo!    Wither

My older son likes to take the train into SF and stop at China town.  He gets the hot flat fortune cookies.  Tasty things but not LDL friendly.  I'm glad he dosn't bring many home.  He eats them on the train ride back.  ;D

If it's not too late, I'd like to join the race.  I sort of got off-track during the easter holiday and juststarted back today.  My start weight is 310 today (Friday) so I guess I'll weigh in on Fridays.

If the caboose is coming to your town what are we going to see?  I'll take a tour of your house if you can't think of anything in your town (hard to believe because I've always found something to go see where ever I've stopped).
