Train from San Fran to the Toddlin' Town

   After the wedding,  Napa Valley wineries, the Redwood forest, we continue our adventure on AmTrak from San Francisco, through the Sierra Nevadas to Denver, through the plains and across two or three states of corn fields.  (And all my friends thought I was corny.) 

   We won't trouble you with a lot of words on this one, except to say that the trip was worth it.  Our only mistake was being too frugal to get a sleeping car.  

   The scenery was breathtaking - I hope our photos do it justice.  

   Enjoy:

Cornfields (the next three states looked like this

because we couldn't take it on the airplane.)
