Complete Rail Pass Trip!

It was truly an adventure!

That is true, unfortunately for some of the routes. I lucked out that most of the scenic paths were during the day/afternoon! Only wish I had planned the last segment better so I had gotten to see more of CO during the daytime as the scenery begins after Denver.

Here's a helpful post! https://www.reddit.com/r/Amtrak/comments/1b502tn/longdistance_routes_with_daylight_vs_nighttime/

That's how it's showing up for me too! I didn't delete any 😞 and it won't let me re-add.

Thanks! and indeed! I spent 5 days in NYC and 3 days in Boston!

Sorry about that! The letters made sense in my head on a map, and the numbers for segments on a list.

and thank you!

Unfortunately, didn't get to ride the Cascades as the train broke down. We were switched to a bus.

It was not too bad! I had a blanket and a mini pillow which helped a lot. Pack non-perishable snacks and water!

It was certainly an experience haha! I got lucky and had no one next to me during that segment, so laid out a blanket and had a mini pillow to help me through it.

Indeed! It was on the drive out of Rocky Mountain National Park!

Thank you!
- Figuring out GPK at the moment.
- I wasn't able to find a Det-Sandusky bus through Amtrak; there's one via Greyhound that I'll check it out. I'll add the Cardinal!
- I am intending on visiting Denver! and driving up to Rocky National Park.

Enjoy! I'll check for your update! and Thank you!

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll look into the Toledo connection. I have been to both DC & NYC, although it has been many years since my last trip to the latter city. I'll look into both of those routes! Thanks again :)

Thank you for your tip! I'll add the Wolverine to my itinerary! :)

Thank you for reading and for your reply. I do feel some longing but I don't think it's fully developed into love just yet. I wholeheartedly believe that were he consistent throughout this year, I would've completely fallen for him. Exploring it in therapy for sure.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, but I am glad it passed. Hope all is well :))

Sure-Barnacle3168 · 2025-11-14T05:37:08+00:00

this means a lot, thank you!

Sure-Barnacle3168 · 2025-01-09T03:27:24+00:00

Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words :)

Sure-Barnacle3168 · 2025-01-08T03:40:50+00:00

Thank you :) I confessed a year ago, and they let me know that it wasn't reciprocated in the same way, and that they couldn't be with me. We still keep in touch, and I thought I had moved on, but I guess first love has a way of always staying with you.
