	Prior to our visit to the [[Southern California Live Steamers\|S.C.L.S]] meet at Lomita, California in 1954 I had planned to build a pike in our back yard, but met with opposition from the better half because of her flower beds. The idea of an elevated track on posts was just out of the question. At this meeting I had the pleasure of meeting our editor Kenneth Stanaback and he informed me that his track was laid on the ground in concrete and had stood the winter freeze and thaws.
