Pictures from the Train!

The following photos are all from the train ride yesterday, mostly of the Animas River that runs alongside the train tracks.  It is SO beautiful -- and has got R thinking about going back to fly fishing again!

Our train passing under and overpass

And going around a curve; lots of curves!

13,000+ foot peak in the distance

Somebody's "private" lake!

Very narrow cut through the mountain!

Another curve!


Love the drop off!  We were WAY up high!



And we were also the very last car on the train!










Old train trestle bridge

Old water tank seen from the back of the train!

Truly loved the Animas River!

A truly amazing Saturday!

Sunday, September 22, 2024   Good Morning!   Wow, we certainly had an amazing day yesterday, and we can’t thank Anna enough!  She had arranged for us to have a PRIVATE photography tour of  Natural Bridge Cavern , which is about an hour and 20 minutes away from Horseshoe Bay.  We left about 9 am for our 11:20 am tour, as this was a new place for all three of us, and we definitely didn’t want to be late.  Absolutely lovely drive over very good roads – Texas roads – when you’re not on freeways – are overall excellent (at least the ones in this area) and have lots of passing lanes, which makes them very safe and convenient.     We went through some really lovely small towns – Blanco, in particular, was at its Saturday morning best! Beautiful “historic” courthouse building in the center of town, old-fashioned main street, farmer’s market, and lots of things going on.  It was a really beautiful morning!  At o...

Oh what a day!

Saturday, September 21, 2024 I have been told that I am not supposed to shirk, but honestly, it has such a long and incredibly FULL day, that I am going to bed without blogging -- promising that I will cover today tomorrow ... once we get to Van Horn, Texas!  So -- we are fine, incredibly well fed on Texas BBQ, which was absolutely delicious, and now, this very tired blogger is heading directly to bed! So ... goodnight all! More tomorrow, I promise! m xxx
