Tried Amtrak overnight from Galesburg, IL, to Lamy, NM, despite having people beforehand saying "the train??!!" It turned out to be quite fun and relaxing (though we did fly back.)
Most non-train pictures are from
  1. Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, southwest of Santa Fe. A wonderful place that's relatively unknown and hardly mentioned in guidebooks, etc.
  2. Bandelier National Monument, near Los Alamos.
