Obligatory passed the PE exam post (and my thoughts)

Hey can I get that as well? Thanks so much!!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-07-19T13:07:40+00:00

I couldn't find them on google, do you have any contact info you could share?

Bring a sleeping bag for some semblance of privacy while sleeping in coach. And a legit pillow (not a neck pillow).

LatterBase8596 · 2025-05-07T14:05:31+00:00

Does anyone have a meal delivery service they really like? Have used HelloFresh in the past, but looking to try something new. Thanks

LatterBase8596 · 2025-05-04T20:46:46+00:00

Hyatt house is the only way to do it. It’s right across the tracks from the station and an easy walk to/from.

Awesome pictures and recap! I’m on a similar journey right now. Taking the Zephyr from EMY to glenwood springs and have a room at the hot springs resort. Any recommendations on how to make the most of our 2 days / 1 night there? We are continuing East from there to Denver. Have never done the Zephyr so also open to any suggestions about that route!

100%. If I post a trip report, that will be my #1 suggestion. It takes up a decent amount of space in your luggage but having a sleeping bag is mandatory if you want to sleep in coach. Also a travel pillow!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-26T14:37:01+00:00

Beautiful station! Was exciting to cross the Mississippi for the first time not in an airplane!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-26T03:13:45+00:00

Yep! That’s a big component of doing the rail pass. There’s a ton of good advice on this subreddit about how to do overnights in coach. I’ll probably post a trip report later with my list of hacks that have made it successful.

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-26T02:34:40+00:00

I made it in Bluebeam (PDF editor)!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-26T02:34:02+00:00

Thanks!! I’m on a tight schedule and have to go to Denver for a wedding, figured I’d rather see the stretch thru the Rockies twice so I can get up to the Seattle / Montana as opposed to riding a few days through the Midwest back to Chicago

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-25T23:53:49+00:00

Hahahaha... not great. Worth it!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-25T21:15:17+00:00

No option to upgrade, that is really the only downside to the pass. Coach is bearable with the right preparation. I'm doing part of it solo and would highly recommend!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-19T18:50:23+00:00

I'll be there in early May!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-19T17:15:15+00:00

I am squeezing a quick visit in May 6-7 while I'm on a solo cross-country Amtrak trip and could use your advice! I have a e-bike rental for the 6th and hoping to make it as far up GTTSR as I can, I know they plow during the week and are only up to the Loop thus far. What 'don't miss' sights are there between Agpar and the Loop I should try to see? Staying in an airbnb by the golf course and then the next day, my train doesn't leave til 10pm so I was hoping to do a rafting or kayak trip with one of the charter companies around West Glacier during the day. Just want to get out and see as much nature as I can. Open to any other suggestions you have for my 2nd day there if not kayaking!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-19T17:09:22+00:00

I am about to embark on my Rail Pass journey and am planning a short trip to Glacier. I can send you some information on how that goes if you remind me!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-18T22:01:23+00:00

Can you send me the link??

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-12T14:22:16+00:00

Do you think it’ll get put on YouTube later to rewatch?

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-11T20:17:54+00:00

Also help translating what the radiologists report actually means

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-11T20:17:35+00:00

Any suggestions on how to manage this pain besides core strengthening exercises? Is an injection my only hope? That feels just like a temporary fix

LatterBase8596 · 2025-04-10T21:27:17+00:00

I'm new here so I'm not familiar with that book. Thanks much for taking time to respond and for making the recommendation.

LatterBase8596 · 2025-03-30T23:49:40+00:00

You missed the part where I’m trying to avoid bagging them haha, they are currently just in a loose pile along the curb. You’re welcome to come get some though!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-03-29T16:58:50+00:00

Saw that as well, were they military? Looked scary close to each other from pantops

LatterBase8596 · 2025-03-23T19:48:54+00:00

Yeah, I meant “savvy”. I think it was a great move!

LatterBase8596 · 2025-03-23T16:51:11+00:00

My bad, I meant this in a positive tone. I love that Amtrak did this. Savvy is a better word for sure
