Jessy and I have been to Niagara Falls before, but never rode the Maid of the Mist boat into the falls. Join us as we get completely soaked by the mighty Niagara Falls!

Railfanning the BNSF Mojave Sub
My friend Chris Stilson and I started out in Lancaster, CA and followed BNSF's Mojave Subdivision north towards Bakersfield, CA making sure sure to stop at the famous Tehachapi Loop in Tehachapi, CA.
Exploring the Sacramento Metro Area
We spent the morning riding the train at the California State Railroad Museum, and then we headed out to the suburbs to explore the region.
We started at Roseville Yard, Union Pacific's answer to CSX's Selkirk Yard, in Roseville, CA, and we ended up overlooking a beautiful California sunset over Folsom Lake from Folsom Point in Folsom, CA.
New Friends in Old Sacramento
We spent the entire day walking around Old Sacramento, a beautifully preserved, historic 1800s Gold Rush era neighborhood.
In addition to all the shops and entertainment, Old Sacramento is also home to the California State Railroad Museum, a state park that is dedicated to preserving its large collection of exhibits and railroad equipment as well as operating the Sacramento Southern Railroad, a scenic railway.
After an amazing visit and tour of the museum, we made some new friends in the car department. We joined the crew for dinner on the Sacramento River and learned all about what Sacramento has to offer.
