I clean up quite nicely if I do say so myself!
I went up to breakfast alone and met some nice people. Russell joined us for coffee.

Long stop here to take on a bunch of passengers. Still haven't made up much time.
Next stop Reno and we head into the Sierras proper.

Not sure if they come out in the photo, but trust me. This time I see serious mountains.
K the train from Chicago to denver,boulde.r and was so thrilled an excited I stayed up all night . The next day when I saw the mountains from afar it looked to me like the edges of the world had been crimped up. By the time I got to boulder I felt like I had landed on the moon. What a fabulous time it has been.

The fog is occluding the mountaintops so I have no idea how high they go.
So beautiful and exciting, I really love the trip west. I know you and Russell must be having a blast.
I suspect the mountains go all the way up, Sarah. Wonderful sunset brilliant and deep red clouds turning the ocean golden here on the coast. I have the window seat. Absolutely sweet end to a jazz weekend.. Thanks to you all for making it possible. We are just leaving Santa barbara. this is the moment when i never want it to end.
Deep in darkness now, and some lovely people have put up Christmas lights. The fields are all set with little six inch plants Anne andrichard

We passed by Donner Lake just after lunch. That was a bit ironic.
