This person pulled straight into a 45 degree parking spot. I’m parked on the left. It’s a daycare and I’m curious if their kids can color inside the lines yet.
Northwest Territories officials said on Friday evening that more than 19,000 people have fled from Yellowknife due to wildfires and urged those who remain to also leave as soon as possible....
I wonder why the remaining 5% of residents haven’t evacuated yet. Are they senior citizens that need extra assistance or poor people that can’t afford to go anywhere? Or are they people that think the wildfires aren’t that bad or dislike the big government telling them what to do?
I believe this website will list everything available on the café menus by train. Which does not include the expanded dining options available for people in Private Rooms like Traditional Dining/Flexible Dining/Etc.
This trip would be nicer to take in Spring/Summertime but January seems to be the only time that I can take this length of trip. My biggest concern is packing for winter in cold places like Chicago and warm like Los Angeles on the same trip.
Chicago is the big Amtrak hub. I want to take the Zephyr, and the Cardinal, which both end in Chicago. There are very few options to get from coast to coast without going through Chicago.
I wanted to take the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle, but it didn’t work out. It was around 48 hours travel time. So I wanted to break it up and visit a town in between, but it’s going to be very snowy/small towns, with maybe 1 small hotel, possibly no uber/taxi/public transit. The small towns did not have a lot to offer during January, the hotels were not necessarily nearby the limited number of restaurants in town. Two days entirely in coach just seemed like too much. Overall the Empire Builder seems much more enjoyable in a private room or during the summertime when tourist season is open.
Instead of taking the Empire Builder, I chose Southwest Chief which ends in Los Angeles, and I’ve heard the Coast Starlight is more beautiful from Los Angeles to Emeryville compared to Seattle to Emeryville.
I hope someone understands what I’m saying and I’m not sounding too meta.
Wow! This is amazing! Thank you so much! It’s so pleasing to see how many states I’ll travel through! I love the title that you gave it!
I am keen on taking the Cardinal because I want to travel through West Virginia and Kentucky - even though it’s 9 hours longer, and it’s a small train. Maybe I should do more research to see if the Cardinal is actually worth it. Lake Shore Limited is my B plan.
Per the rules of the USA Rail Pass, I believe I can only start booking my trip in October, so if I change my mind on the Cardinal or am unable to take it, I’ll definitely take your advice about the Lake Shore Limited, and switch to philly first then NYC.
These two are similar in appearance. The rufous neck and back are typically more orange/brown. The Allen’s back will be greener. but it can be a challenge to see as they both are brown and green! Their tail feathers are also somewhat different but that can be even more difficult to spot!
Rufous hummingbirds are very aggressive compared to other hummingbirds. They have a very long migration from Canada/Alaska to Mexico, and have to come into another birds territory to eat/drink while they migrate - so they can be bullies! With Allen’s hummingbirds - some are migratory and some are not!
Just to make it more confusing, these two sometimes breed together and there are Allen’s x Rufous hybrids as well!
During this time of year, if you live in the Rockies, it may have been a Rufous. If you live on the west coast, it was more likely an Allen’s.
The best way I can get a good look at a hummingbird is to have a feeder with a perch, and additional perches around the feeder.
IIRC other instances have made the same choice with these two instances. Mods and admins are small teams of volunteers, if one instance’s users are creating a disproportionate amount of work for mods/admins I don’t blame them for defeterating.
I created two communities. I am the only mod on them. The communities are incredibly small. I would like to create a 3rd unique community, but for over a week - I have not been able to create a new community. Is there a limit?...
