Howdy Folks,
I haven't posted for a while - I think that the whole covid lockdown thing was just too much of a buzzkill for me to go out and get my adventure on much, but thanks to Moderna and a big incentive from Amtrak, Raven Jake is back.
I'm going to preface this by sayin' that all this adventurin' would be impossible without my beautiful wife Jane. Heck, she's even the one who got me my shot. I owe that lady everything! But I'm really here to talk about the vacation she planned, which is going to have to break down into a whole mess of posts, because three weeks on the road is a whole lotta road.
Ain't nothing to it. Two shots 28 days apart.
That done, we were able to venture forth into the world again and Amtrak had the answer - a limited-time special of a month of rail travel, 10 stops for $299. It's since gone up to $499 but still beats a la carte.
I'm like a little kid about trains. I literally lose my mind with excitement. So when Jane said she was thinkin about seeing the West by train, I was in 100%. She planned it out, I went along, but as you can imagine, I brought the Raven Jake touch along with me. Now to be completely honest with you, we made some mistakes. This was our first rodeo. If we were gonna do it again, there's some stuff we'd do different. But this was an experiment.
