@blueeyes8960- you've had quite the adventures! All of it sounds exciting, but the train ride is very special because there is no way to go exactly the way the trains travel and you see scenery you would otherwise totally miss by car!
If you get up to Washington State, I know a lot of good private local trails that only our neighborhood knows about. The views are spectacular! Take care and safe travels!
Yes, the train ride was an experience. I've heard about one in Canada that's strictly a sightseeing trip where you stop overnight and get out and stay overnight in a hotel. I'd like that because you miss scenery by traveling at night (and the sleeping car sucked, lol). But that one is very expensive, it's going to stay on the bucket list for awhile.
That sounds just about perfect! I never thought about losing scenery at night, but you are indeed right! Someday, I'm sure you'll go, but don't forget to share the pics! Take care @blueeyes8960, and have a lovely day!
I'm sure if I get to take that trip, there will be a post about it! And we definitely want to come back to Washington, so we'd love to take you up on your advice @elizabethbit on hiking trails. Talk about beautiful country, wow!
It is beautiful here; fall is very pretty! Take care @blueeyes8960 and have a lovely day!💜🤗
