Another great day on the train.  We are just entering Calorado.  We are following the river and the sceenary has been spectacular.  I will have a lot of new pics in the train section of the gallery later.

The views you get driving around this lake are incomparable.  The one big problem is on the weekends people come from every direction.  Every available spot along the road has a car parked on it. We took a short 2.4 mile hike around an alpine lake before we left for the train.  right now we…

I understand that some of you were having problems with the gallery on your desktops. I think that I was able to correct the problem. If you have only been looking at the pic s with your phone you really should look at them on a bigger screen. I have been shooting in high Def…

We are back on the train today. We leave from Portland and head to Sacremento overnight. We have a sleeper car which makes the trip much better. We change trains in Sacremento and head for Reno. This should be a very senic part of the trip as we go through the Donner pass.

We are in Carson Washington for the Eclipse. I guess the once in a lifetime aspect is what made it unique, otherwise it just got dark and cold in the middle of the day. It is a weird flat light. So we are off to look for more waterfalls. We have a great cabin with…

Well we have been stuck on the train about two hours from Portland in Rosevelt WA. Due to a broken track. We had our first night in a sleeper car last night. It was a lot better than slleping in a coach seat. We had a great time in Glacier Park. The Road to the…

We are staying at the Izzak Walton Inn.  The inn was built during the great days of the railroad to cater to the rail employees.  It is a train stop today with a working yard next door.  Of course every thing is train themed.  There are several rooms on the grounds that are converted rolling…
