A while back the lake at the park almost dried up completely. Being the adventurous coyote that I am, I decided I would walk out on the bottom of the Lake to see what I could find, mostly in hopes of finding the wrecks of old rc boats (I actually found one once, and even got its engine and rudder servo to run again, but that's another story) or various toys that kids had accidentally dropped off of the bridge, docks, or rental pedal boats. On this day I happened to find many (kite, Sonic plush, castle sand mold, seahorse sand mold, flying ring, kite spar, model rocket fin assembly, diecast locomotive). My eye ussualy catches toys with bright colors, and this red vehicle buried amongst the marine plants stood out brightly.

My heart leaped with exitement! Under closer inspection it was indeed a diecast vehicle, and on top of that it was a LOCOMOTIVE!!
