Caboose Snoozin'

During the boys’ afternoon nap, the family steamed hard 200 miles east to Titusville, Pennsylvania. This was a new state for the boys, their 11th, and we were impressed with the rural beauty of the area. In 1859, oil was successfully drilled in Titusville, resulting in the birth of the modern oil industry. Arriving after dark, the family checked into one of the country’s few caboose motels. Visiting a real caboose is one thrill, but staying overnight in one is a very exciting rare pleasure. Trey Davey and Benji were so energized that sleep didn’t come easily for them on our second vacation night.
