This was so fun to read, Eli! And your landscape photos are breathtaking! I’ve always dreamed of taking that train route from Chicago to California to see the US. It sounds so lovely to be on a trip where the whole point is to sit and look intently :)

That sounds incredible! I am itching to do more routes. Would you have to take several trains?
