    about the black bear at SPUD

    Phelps Lake is nice especially with a moose and calf. Plenty of them in that area. Have spent many a Sunday night at Stagecoach dancing! Glad you have experience the area. Wilson is a nice place to stay.

    about the black bear at SPUD

    Heading to Jackson Hole, Grand Teton area for the summer on Friday. Go every summer and have had many bear sightings and encounters. Have seen and taken many pictures of 399. Shes 24 this year I think. There are always plenty of bears.

    Bucket List trip May 2020: trains 421, 4 and 50

    Ive been traveling in bedrooms for a long time. When i board and my attendant stops by I let him/her know what time i want my bed put down for the night or two nights. I usually ask them to write it down if possible. I ask them if they want me to just hit the call button in the morning and the...

    How do feel about riding "Coach" ?

    My trips are only overnight ones. West coast somewhere to Chicago then on to Was and finally to South Florida. I spend a night or two in each city. I do not do coach. Could not sleep in the chair and share bathroom with so many. I use points for a bedroom on first two legs and usually a...

    Security on Amtrak: Tips and Observations

    I've never felt unsafe on the train though I don't ride in coach so no incidents for me to report. Chicago is a very busy station but having traveled thru there for 30 years I know my way around and am comfortable moving about both inside and outside of the station. Lots of commuters in a hurry...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    Best of luck to you. Exceedingly healthy and fit 60 year old doesnt mean you dont get the flu. The flu can cause severe complications in anyone of any age and is absolutely no fun to have.

    People will steal your stuff on amtrak right in front of you.

    Sorry to hear of your problem but Im not sure about the accuracy of the points you made. Ive traveled a serious amount of miles on Amtrak all in bedroom or roomette. Ive never experienced any issues at all and hope it stays that way.

I have cancel for any reason travel insurance which at least covers 75% of my costs. As far as home supplies the basic 14 days doesnt get it done at all. If your...

    Increased Security Presence on Trains

    Your make valid points. Many of the folks I come across in the train stations i travel from i believe could be employable. They simply need a dose of motivation to exit the hustle artist life.They can also be disruptive and frighten passengers. Last two trips from Seattle there was no evidence...
