Despite the paucity of intercity passenger rail here in the US, frieght rail is alive and well. Today's route paralleled a pair of heavily used tracks, with mile-long 3-engine trains pulling their containers up and down the mountain grades each hour. Some of the containers had familiar names, like Matsen, Hanjin, Senator, etc, indicating that they probably came directly from trans-Pacific container ships that called in Los Angeles or Oakland. Now I'm at a cute little motel in Sanderson, which is decorated just like my Mom's house. Time to rotate my bicycle's tires, as the tread is much more worn on the rear.

Jeremy , can't believe you have gone so far already. It feels like you were just here yesterday. looks like you really getting to see the US from an awesome perspective.How much further do you have left? How the legs holding up? We miss you over here.
Keep safe. Dwight and Lisa
Marathon sounds nice! I hope the storm we had here this morning didn't get you too! It was a wet ride to the office. Ride safe Jeremy.
