It started getting light by La Junta, just in time to see Elk and Pronghorn along the tracks. I've done my time in places like Elkhart, Turpin and Syracuse, don't need to see that again. On the way back, it got dark just after the Raton Tunnel. Perfect timing. We did coach on the way down and I learned my lesson. We upgraded to a sleeper for the return and it was much better. Pretty sure we are going to book Chicago to Seattle next fall and see the Rockies. Probably fly home from Seattle. Washington and Oregon are the only states in the Lower 48 that I am missing from my been-there list. Get that done before I croak.
Wife and I are catching the Southwest Chief in Newton, KS at 2:00 in the fucking morning tomorrow to meet up with my kids for a week in Santa Fe. We are planning a trip from Chicago to Seattle next fall so this is a trial run of sorts to see if a longer trip is really in the cards. Beauty of it is that Western Kansas is in the dark both directions. Other than the odd departure time I'm looking forward to it.
I no longer cast boolits but I have an extensive stock of molds, handles, pots, etc. Let me know what you need. Lots of raw lead too but it sounds like it might become worthless.
We can organize a carrier pigeon "pony express" where none of the birds need to fly very far. Anybody live near Dodge City so @Kennythetiger and I can communicate?
There were a couple other words that it could have been when I made my last guess. That was lucky, I guess.
