46 years ago today i left on my Amtrak train trip across the United States. From Ohio to Montana,Washington, Oregon, CA, AZ, NM on and on. 16 states and 6400 miles in 9 days. Was a crazy trip. Enjoyed every second of it.
I got to see the Grand Canyon and I stood on the corner in Winslow, AZ. I did it all for $176.00 for a 14 day ticket.
Was a kinder and gentler America back then.
Today, I’m just trying to pay for gas! It’s about $100 a day just to get from one place to another. Gas is anywhere from $3.39 to $4.99 a gallon.


In Clinton MO. Happy trails.
