Not only is the train one of the only ways to see the routes through and over ground semi familiar you have not seen before but it is a safe and fast and comfortable ride. A couple years ago I took a three day ride to Chicago out of San Francisco called the California Zephyr. It was so relaxing and the views so beautiful I got hooked. Now i take a couple rides a year and use the train for bay area day trips or just an overnight ride to Seattle or the like. The staff os always great, never a rude or pushy person have i met in am Amtrak uniform. The seats have a ton of room even in coach even the snacks and drinks are affordable. I travel a-lot it is what i do. Buses trains plains and even the occasional boat. Of them all the train is by far my favorite way to travel. Cars give you freedom the train doesn't but the train is much cheaper and with rides shares and parking fees, gas prices, and traffic, you loose very little mobility and gain so much more in the ease of the trip. That translates to relaxed passengers who are unguarded and happy on board. If you like me enjoy talking to strangers, you gotta take-a weekend trip. Rent a sleeping room or even sleep in the coach seats and by the end of the ride you will be at your destination at the pace a fast car trip, but ready to adventure on the other end. For solid and even great value try Amtrak. It is a very honest and straight forward well run company as well. The employees seem to love their jobs witch means managers do to. It seems as a customer to be a company who gets it from top to bottom. Embracing who they are and what they offer and are perfectly oaky with that. All those moving parts make the rails and Amtrak an American tradition worth connecting to and ensuring your grandchildren get a chance one day with their own grandchildren to take a ride through time and see the land as it was 100 years ago. Support Amtrak and ride the train short trip or long, it is a way to connect to kids to relax and to just be as you rocket through this second to none landscape of our beautiful country. So hit your reset button and spend a weekend with Amtrak, I promise you will not be disappointed even if you don't fall head over heels as I did my first ride and each and everyone since!

I needed to fly down to LAX from here in Redding and this little airport works perfect. No hassles…read morelike a big airport (like LAX). Round trip on United, easy way to LA and go for the non-stop. Normally I'd make the drive to LA cause I usually have to bring a ton of equipment and presentation materials, but this time I just have a short meeting and dinner to attend, so this is way faster then driving. I had a friend drop me off here at the airport, cause I don't wanna leave a car here over night ... you never know. I love flying out of RDD (Redding) cause it's so easy, no crowds and close by. The fares aren't super cheap, but the company is paying so it's all good!

This has been brought into open court now and will be seen through to the end. I have made 3 requests for the Body Cam footage of interactions where the cameras should have been (unless something to hide) per normal procedure and in accordance with California law. Hold letters to preserve had to be sent as its been nearly a year of stonewalling to protect inaccurate records of TWO interactions that are now before the COURT!

The floor or deck of the bridge is made with glass so that you can see the river below. The bridge is a real sundial in daylight hours. We visited over the Christmas/New Year Holiday on a rainy cold night. We couldn't see much, except for the bridge lit up in holiday lights. The bridge was a little slippery with the glass and tiles. It was a little difficult to walk with a bad knee because of the slipperiness. It was a beautiful bridge at night. We need to come back in daytime.

Once I got to a window, the DMV rep (Brandon) (who I did not know and had never met before) was extremely courteous and got me a seat near his window while he worked on my case. In about 15 minutes, he completed the paperwork and issued me my new placard...good until June 30, 2025!
