The participant list now reflects who was actually there, including the new friends we met along the way.
The planned itinerary was updated to include the BART-related changes that were added at the last minute the night before the fest began. An actual itinerary will be published once the participants who were on the long distance Amtrak trains send me the station times (I really only need the start & end times for this, not all of the stations.... that can come later when the report is being done.).
The official homepage was rewritten in the past tense.
The special San Francisco itineraries (Teams Orange, Green, Yellow, Blue, and Red) have been eliminated from the website to create more space. They were only for the convenience of each group to determine BART fares and the times they needed to leave to meet up with the group each morning. All links to these itineraries have been deleted as well.

You can find updated status for:
BART
AirTrain SFO
Muni
CalTrain
ACE
Sacramento RT
I am aware of the technicality that we did not ride the AirTrain Red Line due to time constraints, however we since we did visit all AirTrain stations on the longer Blue Line, I gave us credit for completing the system.
The only system with a significant section we did not ride is CalTrain, the portion south of San Jose Diridon Station. John Corbett did take a ride on his own to the end in Gilroy and returned by bus. Perhaps if the line is someday extended beyond Gilroy to a point where Amtrak also stops, we can add that trackage to our belts for the group.

Hmmm, you know after last week one can take that a number of ways.....Railette still in training
At any rate, I appreciate the kind words. Thanks to Amtrak making sure that all of us were scattered among two different sleepers on every long distance train, it became necessary to pay visits to others to keep the comeraderie going.
In reality I was just making sure that everyone wanted to be among the first to show up at the next meal call!

AlohaI did this via email to the participants, but since I'm STILL in training, I see that it would have been better to post the following to the board:
There's another person who needs to be thanked. KEVIN KORELL for all of his diligent, hard work in making this trip such a wonderful success
Railette still in training
Railette you are absolutely right Mahalo to all but especially to Kevin that without his dedication we all might not have met and the meeting was Supercalifragilitcexpialadosis (probably misspelled )
