Up at 5.30am, coffee! Elaine drove us to Denver, still raining. Train late, could have slept in! It arrived finally at 9.15am and left around 9.45 (supposed to be 8.05am). With the cloud and rain we didn't get a great look at the eastern side of the ... Read more >

Shirley took us to the Las Vegas airport at 9 to catch the 10pm Amtrak coach to Kingman (google it). Sounds simple? Noone knew where the coach left from, noone knew Amtrak even has coaches, it took a while but we found it, on Level Zero if you ever ... Read more >
