I took my 3 year old grandson. We both enjoy the 1 hour trip from Fort Bragg inland. It was the perfect length for him.

Nice ride but very short. Out of Ft. Brag I remember in past times, going quite a way longer up into the hills where the engine disconnected and moved to the opposite end, then we returned to Ft. Brag. Now they go about 1/2 the distance and push back to the station. LOOKED like there was a slide that has covered the tracks ahead. And the slide looked old... What is the story Skunk Train? Will you ever clear the track and resume the ride up to the old switching area? Next time will go to Willits and take that ride.
