Train (not) In Vain

Needed to be in Chicago for business the past couple of days, so decided to take the train. What a great way to travel - as long as you're flexible about when you get there and back.

Tuesday night left Ann Arbor about 7pm, so I got to enjoy a twilight ride out across southern Michigan. All familiar places, but a different way to see them. Saw lots of familiar spots on the Huron River from a different perspective. Must have seen two dozen deer, especially heavy in Jackson County. Also turkeys galore. I think they knew season was over!

Unfortunately, due to bad weather in Washtenaw County, the return home was a little LOOOOOONG. Lots of signals were out, so we crept along at 15mph (that's 6 minutes per mile, btw) from Grass Lake all the way to Ann Arbor. A long, slow crawl. But a great trip overall.
