Summer 2008

The photos below are from our second season:

As our national depression grew in severity during 2008, the number of trains passing by Black Butte on the UP mainline decreased noticeably.

BBCRC members took our six-person railbike out for a rubber-tire spin for the Weed Carnivale on July 12th.

Together with our partners, the Weed Arts Council, we won second place in the parade competition!

We hosted Mexico City-based "gypsy punk" band POLKA MADRE for a show at Black Butte on June 24th. The show was well attended, both by out of towners and local people from Weed, Mt. Shasta and Dunsmuir.

We've been hosting a regular summertime Tuesday night jam at Black Butte with our visiting friends, members of the Weed Arts Council and other local musicians.
