Too much of an...Virginia, I completely understand! Too much of anything gets old really fast. It's the same with the rain for us. Luckily this week it has given us a respite. I was born in Toronto, then lived in michigan until I was 12. So I know what the snow can be like. I think that's why I only take train trips to snow country now, LOL! Although as a kid I did enjoy playing in the snow. Here's hoping it stops soon!<br /><br />Oh my god, Elaine, isn't that just like teenage boys! Even at 2 am, they have to have something to eat! When I was going to college, I used to take the train all the time to get home. The one I took, however, didn't have that wonderful panaramic car!<br /><br />Debby, I think the best part was enjoying it with family. My husband didn't come, though. Riding on a train for 8 hours just to have crab buffet at the Peppermill would have bored him silly! He'd rather be working on his car! So I let him take care of the dog and kitties.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by everyone!Jennifer Skully/Jasmine Hayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836284910015618204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486838000582729346.post-85697301540403411062010-02-16T16:12:23.425-08:002010-02-16T16:12:23.425-08:00Wow that looks like it is so neat!

T...Thanks for the beautiful pictures and blog post. Times sure have changed with train trips. My only long trip was back in 1972 when I was 13 years of age. My brother (17) and I travelled with my sis (23) two nights to visit my other sis (28) and her new family over 2000 miles away. My first sis went back after her two-week vacation, but my brother and I stayed over two months for our entire summer vacation. On our way back, the train stopped halfway home at 2 am. I had been sleeping but awoke when I heard my brother leaving the train. He had gone to buy a sub! Next thing I knew, the train was gathering speed and my brother had to run (complete with sub in hand) to catch the train. He did, but it was an experience I wouldn't want to duplicate.<br /><br />Sorry.

Donner Lake is named after the infamous Donner party. The train trip to Reno goes from Emeryville ( on the other side of the Bay from San Francisco) through Sacramento and then up through the Sierras.

It looks like a fun time was had by all. <br /><br />Donner Lake isn't named after the infamous Donner party, is it?
