    Heck yeah! Had to celebrate the start by watching this on the TV instead of my phone. As you walked up to the lake, I said "holy crap" and then you said it a second later, so it's a common sentiment. 😆

    Coming from the UK / Europe where trains are used by most people fairly regularly, I forgot they're not as popular in the US! You saying that was your second time of a train reminded me of when a friend from LA came to London and had her first train ride ever with us there!
    This hike already looks epic, and I'm jealous - GLHF!
