We arranged our tickets so that we would spend the night in Sacramento and catch the train the next day in order to enjoy the view in daylight. We would stay in a hostel in a historical building. We fell out of the magic of the northwest with a clunk ... Read more >

The build-up to this trip has been incredible.  Moving out of Tulsa, seeing relatives in New England, and now back in California, with only a few days to go.  I'm getting excited!

What an amazing day!   I had a good night sleep last night and managed to get away by 9am, despite the cold.   I was looking forward to today, as I was entering California and hopefully a real change in terrain with forests and canyons.   A welcomed ... Read more >
