Train Part 2

 I had planned to write a detailed post about the rest of our train adventures. But I think that instead I will do a quick photo dump.

But before I do, a quick introduction. Any of you who know me, either just as a reader here or as someone who knows me in person, there is nothing that makes me happier that seeing beautiful things. 

We traveled through landscapes that made me understand while people might worship mountains.

So may of the mountains that we passed were simultaneously rising out of the ground and eroding at the same time.

We learned that Coloradans have a custom of mooning the AMTRAK train as it goes by.

This was just one of many times we were mooned while going through Colorado. 

It was impossible to not think of the people who crossed these mountains in wagon trains. 

Eventually, we got to the Pacific Ocean.

This wasn't the fastest or least expensive way to travel. It was, however, pretty wonderful.
