Safely Moored Back in the Cove

[edelsont]

Home is the wanderer from my journey to Olympia, and other points in the Pacific Northwest.  But those "other points" did not include Olympic National Park -- nor Victoria, BC -- as I had said they might.

Let me tell you a little more about the Empire Builder, the train(s) that I took from Chicago to Seattle, and from Portland back to Chicago.

My friend Beckie asked me how many times the train was refueled, in the course of that long journey.  The answer is three.  From west to east, those are:

- Spokane, WA

- Havre, MT

- Minot, ND

Spokane is also the location where -- westbound -- one train splits into two, and -- eastbound -- two trains combine into one.

Anything else y'all would like to know?
