More Southwest Chief

You might think a 25-pound cooler, stowed accessibly on the lower level of our train car, would hold enough food, but you'd be wrong. Overflow veg and fruits await afternoon snack time in my pack.

Art has his computer GPS receiver stuck to the window (second shot below) so he can track our progress (just below) on his computer.

Maria cleans the step-down handles on a brief stop while I'm just lazy.

I'm reading The Silent Wife, by the late ASA Harrison. The publisher hails it as "better than Gone Girl" and it has some fine blurbs from two of our favorite authors, though I'm not yet convinced. Enjoying it, though.

    I am loving following the two of you on your trip - great travel log! Also, decided to read The Silent Wife along with you. Well written and, just the sort of book I am in the mood to read.

    Love,
