  • Travel update, for those who worry:


    I made it to the wonderful world of Colorado. The train ride was, ahem, uneventful. It was made all the more uneventful by the detour through southern Wyoming, rather than going through the central Colorado rockies. If you ever have need to ride Amtrak's California Zephyr line, make sure it's not during the week that they're fixing the tunnels in the rockies, or suffer the consequences of riding through the badlands and natural gas refineries of southern Wyoming. (They do a week-on, week-off work schedule on the tunnels.)


    The ride through the Sierra Nevadas was nice. They have a deal with a local historical society where an interpretive guide volunteer was making announcements about the places we were travelling through, which gave some good historical perspective.


    Next up: a weekend of hanging out with people in Colorado, and then off to Texas.

  • trains being the very best way to travel, short of spacecraft that is. keep us posted.

  • I like train rides. But anything could get old.

  • Hey, I'm people in Colorado, and you're not hanging out with me...what's up with that?

  • hey, at least you're not riding through.... KANSAS! That's got to be one of the most boring states on the face of the united states. There is NOTHING to see in Kansas. Trust me on this one. I'd much rather go ride through Wyoming than Kansas any day.

  • I love riding the train. What are your Texas destinations?

  • yeah, i'm jealous. =O)
