Ride up to the train station. Small horde of tourist exiting the train.  Trail over the mountain is very narrow and on steep hill side. So I go for a 4 minute train ride that dumps me in rain and thunder storm on the other side. I hide in the small station till the storm passes.  Grabbing lunch out of bags is challenging in the driving rain.  Start down in rain looking for camp for an early day.  Find a spot above a cliff to camp.

Love and kisses

Glorious ride up rough road. Great country took lots of pictures.  The road runs parallel to the train tracks.  Train is advertised as the scenic railroad.  Old tracks run outside and new tracks run underground and through snow sheds.  So the riders of the train get 3 to 5 second views of the countryside before going back into the darkness.  It does keep the train running through in the winter.  The old tracks for the scenic ride lay abandon.  Cycling get better views.  Then there were a few snow crossings adding to the adventure.

Love and kisses
