We spent all day today on the California Zephyr on our way east.

We started the day here.

And went to breakfast.

We saw lots of people rafting on the Colorado River. And enough bums (lots and lots) that the conductor suggested that today a better name for the river was Moon River.

It was a day for looking out the window.

We saw an eagle.

We got out to stretch our legs in Grand Junction.

And Linda noticed the stained glass windows in the old depot.

Then we looked out the window some more.

Occassionally we passed some freight trains. And once we passed the west bound California Zephyr No. 4.

Camilla preferred spending time with her tablet.

20210815_113559.jpg

While we watched the world move by.

Sometimes Camilla did some drawing.

20210815_202846.jpg

Sometimes she didn’t know what to draw.

20210815_205438.jpg

She didn’t let us do much napping.

20210815_203055.jpg

We saw many tunnels on our way to Denver.

At some point we went to dinner.

20210815_200514.jpg

At some point we saw a small old power plant.

20210815_205612.jpg

And a small damn.

20210815_205803.jpg

And a bigger damn.

20210815_201304.jpg

And a gondola up to an amusement park.
