re: #74 teleskiguy

I knew it! I’ve acquired an ability to look at pictures of places in Colorado and know where the picture was taken. A lifetime of residency and recreation in the state will do that to a guy.

I did that same train ride when I was 21. I rode the train from Glenwood Springs, CO to the Bay Area. My sister picked me up and I spent the next week in the Bay Area. My sister even took me to Napa Valley. It was my 21st birthday present from my sister.

I flew back, BTW.

We flew out for it and took the train to Glenwood Springs for a few days before continuing on to CA. At some point we’d like to do the Coast Starlight down to LA, then LA to Chicago, then Chicago to Seattle, and then Seattle back here.

You have to have the right mindset for train travel though, which involves not necessarily moving fast all the time and no firm schedule. AND YAY SAN JOSE WINS OVER THE KINGS BWAHAHAHAHA. I mean. Ahem. We got lucky when we went down to Paso Robles in early November and our train down was on time, but our train back ended up getting in 6 hours late.
