I can't comment on Uber or Lyft availability in Davenport, but I do know that parking a big camper at the venue would be an issue.  The hotel is basically in the downtown area, with a parking garage across the street, and a small lot behind it. As far as Railroad Seminar topics, how about train robberies?  I didn't realize that blowing up the safe (and car) in the Butch and Sundance movie was a real thing, until I saw the safe in a museum in Wyoming.

There is a large free city parking lot between River drive and the river. Right now it is usable
and I don't think there will be much snow melt coming. In 2019 everything was under water.
If you can use that it's only half a block to the Hotel. I believe we've had more snow here than
up river.

Only 1 vendor table left, so if you want it better snatch it up. It will be a room full
of lots of interesting stuff to look at.

As I will be unable to attend the convention this year, will there be video recordings of the seminars?

Not that I'm aware of, I sure won't have time to do it.

Hopefully not on the 11 o'clock News.

The 2024 convention is in the books.  BTB did a great job setting it up.  The hotel staff was wonderful, the hotel itself had some mechanical issues.  Great convention overall.

A big thank you to those that put on the convention. I am sure there was plenty of behind the scenes work that was done that we don't see. We see the results though, in a well run convention. Thanks to everyone who put this on.

Thanks to all that came, I know a lot of you drove a long ways. The hotel is under renovation and just put
in a new heating system that is not done to all the rooms. I was really pleased with the staff, Tabatha, a worker joined
NCOWS and is going to shoot our inaugural shoot in May.

I should also take this opportunity to thank John "Bear Tooth Billy" Hoker for putting on the convention without the help of a local posse. I know he had a lot of help and thanks to everyone who was able to. This convention would not have happened without John and he deserves all the credit!
Thanks! :) :)
