Mar 7

When my parents, my brother and me moved from Chicago to Washington State, we came by train! It was a great trip. Part of your video reminded me of part of our trip. We were crossing the plains where we could see a lonely peak far away to the north. That day seemed long as the view really didn't change! We made a huge semicircle around the peak before it disappeared. I think I was 8 years old or so.
