Thank you for a very fun day!
Awesome. Enjoyed looked at the trees and nature.

Great part of California history.
Camping at Noyo was an amazing experience. Adventurous train ride, wonderful camp location, kayaking, etc. added up to make a wonderful trip. Our group had 6 children between 3-7 years, and they loved the train ride, and camping at Noyo.
Nice ride. The kids enjoyed the displays in the adjacent Museum.
Best time machine you'll ever ride... back to the future with a working relic of the past... nice (y)
