After a day in Chicago, I will board the Zephyr and head further west for two days. I can already vouch for the trip through the Sierra Nevadas and close to the Tahoe area, but I am also looking forward to the Rocky Mountains and desert plateau of Nevada, which I have driven through many times but never had the opportunity to cross through without at least one eye on the road.

Because I am ultimately trying to reach Vancouver, I will get off the train in Sacramento to meet up with a northbound train for Seattle. More on that later...
Not having to watch out for tumbleweed while driving is always a good thing. On a drive from Oklahoma City to Denver, I kept thinking animals were darting onto the road in front of me. Talk about stress!
