On Tuesday, July 5th we left for a cross-country trip across the U.S. by rail. We started in Boston and completed the journey in San Francisco. Unfortunately, Amtrak does not have WiFi on its trains running west of Chicago. My next few posts will be a catch up for the days we were travelling. I am going to add lots of photos to these next few blogs, showing off the beauty of our country. The Rocky Mountains were truly stunning! This post will focus on pictures from Boston to Chicago. And so it begins. Not much to see that is new or interesting as we leave Boston. So here is a picture of my Mom and Ashleigh. In upstate New York, we get our first view of how much of our country really looks. While the coastlines are highly populated, the interior of the country is largely farmland, and reasonably empty, except near the major waterways. This is a bridge over either the Eerie Canal or the Mohawk River... Likely the Eerie Canal. Unfortunately, I didn't know what I was looking at when I snapped the picture. I do know we were still in New York when I took the photo. This is a shot crossing the Mohawk River. Dusk on the river. Sunrise west of Toledo. Not everything is corn fields and rivers though. We also passed a number of industrial properties. Here are three examples below. Every once in a while, the sun hit the window in such a way that the picture comes out looking really freaky. I call this next shot "Ohio On Acid"! Sometimes, it is fun watching others trying to line up the perfect shot. I'll finish today's missive with a shot of Maddie trying to line up a photo.
