I’ve been wanting to ride the train over the Sierra Nevada’s for quite some time now, and I finally got my chance. There’s quite a bit of good things to see along the way, I really enjoyed it. Going of the mountains, and through the snow sheds on the side of hill is a pretty sight. There was some snow up there, not a crazy amount, like I had hoped for, but it made for a scenic trip. The train itself was not anything to write home about. Amtrak is definately not a luxurious affair, it’s really just like riding a plane, but way slower. This is ok, for someone like me who is not in too big of a hurry to get anywhere. I enjoy taking the scenic route.

It was nice spending some time out in Utah, even though I didn’t get to explore at all. Just being in a different place for a while is a good thing. Plus I got the company of my son, so I really had nothing to complain about. When I go out this summer with my truck, I’ll be able to explore around a bit more and see some sights. I’m really looking forward to that.

Now I’m back out in California, staying in a little cabin that I rented for the month. I hope to be able to get some good fishing in and some hikes, maybe some snow shoeing and four wheeling as well. It’s kind of nice to be back, but even better to have my daughter with me. She is the light of my life.
