Here we go then. An hour after leaving Oakland, we cross the Sacramento river.

Now east of Sacramento heading over the Sierra Nevada.

That's I-80 also snaking through the mountains. I drove that the week before!

A look up at the mountains.

We're now in Nevada - state 2 of 7.

More mountains in Nevada.

Mmm... desert...

Craggy desert.

The train stopped somewhere in Colorado. Day 2!

Running alongside a river in a canyon in Colorado.

I forget exactly where...

That's I-70 on the other side, blending seamlessly in...

...well, kind of.

Sunrise - day 3! Nebraska.

Iowa. The armpit of America.
