I'm no doctor, but you did catch the Lake Shore Limited.The ride back on LSL was great, but I caught something on the trip and was sick.

We had a total of 19 people involved over the weekend.
By gender: Female 3, Male 16.
By state: Out of the 19 people, New Jersey by far won by sending 6 people. Second was the home state of Massachusetts with 3. The other ten were one each from the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, Rhode Island, Florida, and Texas.
By day: We never had all 19 together at one time. On Friday, we had a maximum of 16. Saturday we peaked at 18 on one segment, and on Sunday we had as many as 12 in the morning.
Breaking each day down by segment:
Friday
Entire BOS-Kingston-Plymouth-BOS round trip: 11
BOS-PVD on Amtrak #137: 14
From Providence down to Wickford Jct and up to Back Bay on MBTA: 16
Joe's American for dinner: 14
Saturday
BON-Lowell-Woburn: 17
Woburn-Wells on Amtrak #693: 18
Wells-BON on Amtrak #694: 17
BON-Government Center on Green: 15
Government Center to Wonderland on Blue: 14
Wonderland to State on Blue: 13
At State we split up -- 2 went for nighttime tour of Green Line, 4 took BOS-OSB-BOS points run, and 7 went to Faneuil Hall for dinner.
Sunday
First trip on Red Line was "rolling meet", which topped out at 12.
JFK to Ashmont to Matappan on Red: 12
Matappan to Ashmont to JFK on Red: 12
JFK to Braintree on Red: 11
Braintree to South Station on Red: 11
South Station to Alewife on Red: 9
Alewife to Park on Red: 9
Entire Green Line travels: 9
Group split quickly at Government Center and Park, but 4 (edit) remained together to Amtrak #169 for combined going home/points run.

Minor correction. I believe it was 4 on 169. Will, who would have made it 5, was not on 169Group split quickly at Government Center and Park, but 5 remained together to Amtrak #169 for combined going home/points run.
In general I am sure glad I could make it at least to one day of the Fest, even though it was not exactly the day on which there was any new ground that was covered for me. but hanging out with friends at least for a day made it worthwhile anyway. Looking forward to the next one....
