[OrRando] Amtrak

[Jim Bronson]

I stopped in Wallace for a liter of Mountain Dew on the way back from
Whitefish and saw a large group of riders coming off the bike path 2
and 3 at a time, doing that very thing.  They had left Seattle and
were doing 60-75 miles a day. I had a nice chat with one of them.

Btw...I did not make it all the way to Portland the same day.  I was
able to make it to the Tri Cities in about 6 hours where I enjoyed a
very nice stay at the Hilton Garden Inn.  They had a wonderfully
bubbly hot tub which I used extensively to work the kinks out.  I also
enjoyed a fine italian dinner and a glass of wine in their restaurant.
 All for the quite reasonable rate of $60 (+22 for dinner which
included 4 courses) with my government I'd.  Yay.
