What's In a Name?
Boji Blues: A Brief History
Once considered one of three blue water lakes in the world, the deep blue spring-fed waters of Lake Okoboji are legendary. Other than the land itself, the beauty of the lake and its abundant habitation of fish are what attracted the early French explorers, native American nomads and pioneer settlers alike. Whether fact or fallacy, the beautiful water of Boji Blues beckons us all.

Arizona Merci Train Boxcar
This is a photo of the completed storyboards for the Arizona Merci Train Boxcar. Four Peaks #1207 has raised money and paid for signage at the McCormick Stillman Railway Park to be placed by the boxcar to explain its significance to the general public visiting the park. There is an article about this in the Fall issue of the QQ.
An official dedication for the new storyboards will be held on February 9, 2025 at the McCormick Stillman Railway Park in Scottsdale, AZ.
