Yesterday\u2019s travel on our viewing car was stunning. A two floor car where above gives you panoramic views of wilderness, lakes, vistas, mountains, and wildlife. And below the dining car where you ride thru Alaskas countryside without a care in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pic was our goodbye to the train. We\u2019re solo now in Anchorage, AK. Now both with head colds it\u2019ll be nice to sneeze and cough on our own. Lots of people were getting sick by the time Denali came around. Close quarters on coaches, boats, planes and trains, we\u2019ve done them all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deer Sausage Breakfast Burrito<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Good meals on the train. This burrito tastes like a good smoked sausage. You wouldn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train horn thru valleys and neighborhoods resonates and echos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We get settled into our room after a long day of travel. Turn on the TV and I see travel Alaska channel on. I\u2019m watching this and thinking dang, we\u2019ve barely scratched the surface of what there is to do here. It\u2019s all about nature. The mountains, the wildlife, the sea, the lakes, the glaciers, the weather, and how it affects things. It\u2019s massive, historic, ancient, beautiful, and if you can you must try to see it with your own eyeballs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand how it makes people want to move here. It\u2019s rough and rugged but it takes your breath away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man is in the forest. There are times I just shake my head at people. Those with ancient ties here understand respecting the land, the animals, and nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disrespect of things we\u2019ve seen here like in the gold rush was out of control. If you\u2019ve seen it, your head would shake too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The natives weren\u2019t motivated by gold and riches. It didn\u2019t help them like fur, food, or tools would. In all of this, it seems to come back around to protection and preservation. We are slow to realize that there is only one earth, only one of that species that drop our jaws. Respecting the land and what it gives you can\u2019t be under stated. It\u2019s a delicate balance. Ok, I\u2019m done ranting. I\u2019m part of it too. dmc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
