Coming Up soon....to VA State Roadeo

[Flxible]

It's official.  Bought our Megabus tix last night (18.50, not bad for two people round trip, considering GLI for just me was 97.00 last year).  Anyone available for the Roadeo or any busfanning in general?  We will be arriving Thursday night (3/31) and leaving Sunday evening (4/3).  If anyone has info on where to catch the best stuff I haven't rode yet (i.e. LFRs, Xcelsiors, etc.) please let me know- I could care less about the LFAs.  And if there are any random Flx sightings area-wide (which seems doubtful), I'd like to know where those are happening too.  I would also like to catch a FFX RTS if I make it out that way at all.  See everyone soon!

Fred,

You probably should send out a reminder as the date gets closer.  I may catch the roadeo and perhaps a bit of fanning too.

Wow, where will the Roadeo be this year?  Will it be at DASH HQ again this year?

[Flxible]

Just a reminder that the VA State Roadeo will be held Sunday, April 3, at the PRTC facility in Woodbridge.  I'll be in the area from that Thursday evening until the day of the event.  If anyone wants to do some busfanning, hit me up.  See everybody soon!

I have some hidden codes still on the PRTC buses from when we had the State Roadeo there a few years ago.  One is Roadeo shuttle and others have the names of the participants.  I can't remember the code numbers I used though.  I have some other hidden destination signs too.

That was a lot of fun working the event.  Say hi to everyone there for me!

Are you sure about this?  I'd better call Monique Weiss at PRTC to make sure.....very important info to know there!

Perry, do you (or anyone else here) have any good straight-on side or rear shots of PRTC buses?  I'm building a couple Eagle models in their colors and need them for reference.  Thanks!

Fred - I rarely shoot bus/trains pics straight on, but here's some of the PRTC Eagles I have.

Fred, her name is actually Monique Wyche.  She's been an operator there forever!! She has super long finger nails.  I don't know how she drives the bus with those, but she's really good!  A lot of people from when I was there are still there.  Good to see longevity.

prtc fanning?

[Perry]

On a Saturday you won't be able to do too much! 

[WayneNYC]

Perry - You beat me to it.  Nothing against PRTC, but I had no intention of trying to 'fan down there on a Saturday.  In fact, I don't  want to busfan at all in NoVA on the weekend.
