denver to western illinois. takes longer than driving but sure is a lot less stressful, especially since i'm making a solo trip.

there has been talk of a light rail along the I-25 corridor in colorado for years now but i don't see it happening any time soon. a good train system is bad for car manufacturers and oil companies.
