That is so amazing! The second half really takes me back to my last Chicago to Emeryville trip. But I was never so brave to do coast-to-coast. My neck would be soooo sore by the end.

Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

Neck pillows are a lifesaver but the real MVP for those long train journies is a decent portable power station - I learned the hard way when my devices died halfway thru my Seattle-Chicago trip lol, now I check gearscouts.com/power-stations to compare options before any multi-day travel.
Wow, that second train is a monster, love it!
