Getting ready for my first Amtrak trip in five months, wake up at 4:30, everything's on schedule - 10 minutes later alert that there's a disruption. Call Amtrak and talk to a fantastic agent who is reading the notes in the system to me, powerlines down across tracks north of Chico and PG&E does not have a bucket truck available for a few hours so as of now it's a 3-4 hour delay. This is train travel in the US.

And we are off, four hours late. Although we've now been stopped in San Leandro for almost 20 minutes with no announcement as to why.

It's very springlike today. Everything is green and lots blooming. Starting to see a lot of poppies (although not enough to get a good picture yet).

typical 6:30 PM on a Saturday night in the California hard to see because we were moving fast but joggers, dogs, small party, what looked like a proposal, surfer paddle-out, fisherman, a couple of pelicans.

Excuse me an advance for all the ocean pictures coming. I always have loved the ocean but all the different colors were amazing today. Started with completely dense fog as we hit Oxnard and then various levels of sun/clouds all the way up to Vandenberg. 🌊

dense fog along the coast just at Oxnard ca
