@ An Adventure Begins! Megumi and Mrs. Dylan have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Full Steam Ahead Today's trip starts with the pets being picked up by motor vehicles. They try to catch sight of signposts to give a clue to their destination! Arriving at the train station, they climb aboard the Winter Express steam engine for a tour through a winter wonderland! The train stops for them to stretch paws, flippers and wings exploring a path through a snowy forest and on the way back they encounter a little creature clad in red and white trying out his skis! Back on board the journey through winter vistas continues until sunset. The train puffs its way across a stunning viaduct and on into the mist, before pulling up at the station where it is just a short distance to that night's house. Here the pets can explore the spacious interior including the library and wind down from their enjoyable trip out with hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. An Adventure Begins! Who says that winter can't be a time for a fun adventure? Not the friends who make up Pets n Friends! for them it is "full steam ahead" as they make their way on a snowy day to the southern train station where a day of fun will begin! These adventurers even have the windows down in their van to allow the snowflakes to fall on their faces, feet, paws, etc.!

@ And They're Off! “Pass me the binoculars, Megumi!” said Abby. "I think that's a Canada goose just taking off over there!" And They're Off! With the long, loud sound of the train's whistle, the train lurches forward with a jolt and a series of chugs increasing rapidly while steam pours over the top and down the sides of each passenger car! Our friends settle into their seats with wide smiles!
While wandering in Winter, you met Abby.
Megumi shook paws with Abby the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Landscape "Beast, did you hear about the pet who took the 6 o'clock train home? He had to give it back!" Megumi doubled up with mirth at his own joke. Snowy Landscape They don't stay fully in their seats for long as the beautiful winter landscape fills the windows! The trees seem to have caught every snowflake possible to add "frosting" to their trunks and branches while the ground between the train and the trees is pure white and untouched by any paw prints! A toot of the train's whistle makes this moment magical!
While wandering in Winter, you met Beast.
Megumi shook paws with Beast the Black Great Dane. They both received one silver mole!
@ Rugged Terrain “Hey, have you seen what the next stop is, Megumi?” said Cherokee. "It looks fantastic!" "I'll get my camera ready," said Megumi. Rugged Terrain As the train continues steadily on its journey, our friends notice some terrain that isn't as smooth as previously viewed. The remains of a lone pine tree without limbs and needles stands in stark contrast to the fuller trees they had just seen - reminding our friends that there is a cycle to life. The bright sunshine and blue skies brighten their spirits as they travel on.

Megumi shook paws with Cherokee the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Mountain Pass “British steam engines always had a kettle on a shelf above the firebox so the fireman could make tea on the go,” remarked lily monet. "Sounds like they had their priorities right!" said Megumi. Mountain Pass Our day-trip adventurers notice tall, jagged mountains in the distance, with hints of a glacier on the side of one range. They wonder what it would be like to ride snow machines down into the midst of the mountain pass. Another toot of the whistle gets them ready for what's next!
While wandering in Winter, you met lily monet.
Megumi shook paws with lily monet the Majestic Monarch Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
@ Mountainside Cabins “It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Bentley?” said Megumi."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books." Bentley shivered. “Brrrrrrrr! I think it would be a little too cold, Megumi! I like my creature comforts!" Mountainside Cabins Pressing their noses against the windows, they now see several cabins tucked into the foothills of the mountain range, practically buried in snow! The tall evergreen trees point to the sky like snowy rockets ready to blast off into the wild blue yonder! A closer look reveals a path to the side of the first home, letting our friends know that those who live here have things under control and can still get out and about. What fun it would be to sled down these slopes!!
While wandering in Winter, you met Bentley.
Megumi shook paws with Bentley the Brown Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!
@ Off-roading! "This is fabulous, Icy," enthused Megumi.

"You'll have a fine collection of mementos, Megumi!" said Icy. Off-roading! The train makes a scheduled stop at a crossroads where the passengers are invited to take a stretch and walk down a dirt path for horse-drawn sleighs. Our friends enjoy the opportunity to breathe the fresh, crisp air and are delighted to see some fall leaves still hanging from some trees while others are covered with white! As they walk a little distance from the train, the sound of the train's steam can be heard behind them.

@ Swooshing! “It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Carruthers?” said Megumi."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books." Carruthers shivered. “Brrrrrrrr! I think it would be a little too cold, Megumi! I like my creature comforts!" Swooshing! What's that sound? It isn't the train's steam billowing! Swoosh. Swoosh. Swish, Swish. All at once, a local resident comes popping through the trees, almost knocking our friends over! This little gnome is having a fun, adventuresome day as well as he skis out from one side of the path, hitting a mound of snow that sends him sailing slightly in the air, past our friends, and then lands on the path's other side, disappearing into the trees. Swoosh. Swoosh. Swish. Swish.
While wandering in Winter, you met Carruthers.
Megumi shook paws with Carruthers the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!

"I'll have this photo printed and framed and display it next to my ceramic puffin that I got in the little gift shop near Snow Beach and the model lighthouse from Transcia!" "You'll have a fine collection of mementos, Megumi!" said bielzibub. All Aboard! After some conversation of having just been plowed into by the little gnome skier, the three toots of the whistle announce that it's time for passengers to make their way back to the train and get on board for the next leg of their adventure! With snow now falling, it makes the somewhat hurried scurry a bit of fun as they try to catch snowflakes on their tongues!

Your screams as we descended from the top of that rollercoaster at the fairground last autumn are ringing in my ears still!" Viaduct View As the train's whistle toots again, and the pets see what's coming up ahead - they know that their day-trip is nearing its end. In front of you, the tracks lead across a long and high viaduct with incredible views on both sides of their passenger car.

This frosty display of crystalline beauty is either referred to as hoar frost or rime ice depending on the weather conditions. End of the Day While the excursion may have been a long and chilly one, as the friends continue to enjoy their hot chocolate (whipped topping all gone!), they look over some of their mementos that they picked up at the little stops the train was able to make along the way.
