Ride the Coastal Edge Friday July 24 2009, 6:00 P.M. Garibaldi Train Station SOLD OUT -- sorry! GO BY TRAIN: Does a train ride on the scenic water's edge sound like the perfect way to spend a summer evening? Make plans to board the train on July 24, when the North Coast Land Conservancy and the Lower Nehalem Community Trust join together to offer this educational and fun excursion for the whole family. This railway trip from Garibaldi to Wheeler (with optional return trip by train or car shuttle) will carry passengers in open air cars to experience the sights and sounds of the sweeping coastal edge lands. Shelley Parker will be the guest interpreter on the trip as the train travels past such notable viewpoints as the Garibaldi Bar, Nedonna Beach, the Nehalem Spit, Fishers Point and the Nehalem Bay Estuary. Shelley is the Interpretive Park Ranger for Nehalem Bay State Park. The $20 fare for adults and $10 fare for children 12 and under includes the train excursion, a box picnic dinner catered by Bread & Ocean in Manzanita, and an opportunity to experience this scenic corridor from a new perspective. Seating is limited and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
