Hope we can run it some day.   Comment Entered: 7/22/2010 10:40:00 PM  By: Steve  C - RPV We will have to talk to the city at some point and see about using it again. Seems to be well kept. I can build a transfer table for it if we decide to use it again. Would be fun to have at special events. I wil be making a work stand for my garage soon anyway.   Comment Entered: 7/23/2010 4:15:47 PM  By: howie   - elsegundo maybe we should build a track around city hall?   Comment Entered: 7/23/2010 6:09:17 PM  By: Steve  C - RPV Thats the best idea I have heard all day!
Phil in the new bush tunnel By: Tom  Downing	Comment Entered: 7/12/2010 6:03:38 PM By: George  Kramer - Long Beach,CA Phil, your description rules out the Blue Wistaria, but it sounds like you've got an even better one. Perhaps Australian in origin? All it needs is some type of trelliswork or arbor to guide it as it grows, along with some trimming. Only at SCLS would we find a living tunnel! A great idea. Hoping to meet with you train guys soon and take a ride or two.   Comment Entered: 7/12/2010 6:18:12 PM  By: Phil  C - Torrance, CA George, come on down this Saturday, we are having our public run and you can come take a look for real. We still have a little more construction to do on the trellis to make it a bit more steady but it is pretty good right now. It is a really nice plant, glad we did not have to trim it.
Phil in the new bush tunnel By: Tom  Downing	Comment Entered: 7/12/2010 4:26:58 PM By: George  Kramer - Long Beach, CA USA That bush appears to be a Blue Wistaria. If it is, not to worry worry. It will just keep on growing, and growing, and growing! I''ve got one on the back fence that came over from the neighbor''s yard. A constant battle with trimming it. Great job on the tracklaying work, guys!   Comment Entered: 7/12/2010 4:49:30 PM  By: Phil  C. - Torrance, CA Thanks for the info George, we were wondering what kind of bush it was. It has these really small bottle brush type things that were purple with white tips on the end and some strange looking miniature pine cone looking things further down the branch. It seems to be a very hearty plant so we hope it will grow down the side and fully enclose the tunnel.
