AMTRAK TO GO
MARCH 3rd & 4th
John has wanted to take a train ride for a long time so we decided to take a few days and go over Donner's pass in the winter. We heard that it was a beautiful ride, and we were not disappointed. This gentleman who is a volunteer gave us some interesting facts about the water sheds, the train sheds and Donner's pass.
