Spring 2016 Amtrak Rail Adventure - Wrap Up Post 3 of 3
Wrapping up all the photo galleries for my Spring 2016 Amtrak Rail Adventure with today's update post. Here are the final four photo galleries. These document my return from Seattle to New Orleans over five days and four nights on three different Amtrak trains - the Coast Starlight from Seattle to Sacramento, CA; the California Zephyr from Sacramento to Chicago; and the City of New Orleans Chicago to New Orleans. One of the highlights was traveling through Oregon and particularly Eugene, OR, where current Tennessee Titans' quarterback Marcus Mariota played for the University of Oregon and won the Heisman Trophy in 2014-2015 season. I enjoyed a brief layover in Sacramento, CA, and visited the nearby Old Sacramento. The California Zephyr carried me over both the Sierra Nevadas in California and the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The City of New Orleans delivered me overnight to my native Louisiana and a couple days of "rest" for a very tired man.
All eleven photo galleries are accessible here:

Friends, that's a WRAP! While I returned home a little more tired than from previous trips, I always look forward to planning and going on my next train trip. Actually, the next one is already booked and I'll be flying to Toronto, Canada, May 28 to begin my Canadian train adventure to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I will be posting regular updates as I travel on my Canadian adventure.
I will be traveling to my Northwest Louisiana home May 8-14. Since this will be a family time together trip, I am not planning to post blog updates for this trip. I simply want to enjoy being with my family. I might post a few "Facebook" updates on Facebook.
I hope you enjoyed keeping up with me on my Spring 2016 Amtrak Rail Adventure. I'll be back posting updates beginning May 28 from Toronto, Canada. In the meantime, save the link above to all the eleven photo galleries and the continue to enjoy them at your leisure.
