Spring Break 2013, Amtrak Up to Seattle

Haven’t been to Vancouver in several years, the day is finally here. First part of the trip is the bus ride from Vegas to Bakersfield, CA, board a train to Oakland and transfer there. The sun rises in southern Oregon and there are some breathtaking views through the Cascades.
