When we left Texas, we were headed for Southern California. It was a long trip, as we headed across Texas, through Albequerque, back through Flagstaff, and into California. One of the things that amazed us, was the trains! Out in the desert, the trains are MILES long, and often stacked two containers high.

We also crossed the Continental Divide. Now, until we stopped there, I had NO idea what the continental divide was. I'd heard of it, but didn't understand what it meant. In a nutshell, the continental divide, is that place in the continent, where the rainfall splits. To the east of this place, all of the rainfall eventually winds up in the Atlantic Ocean, to the west, in the Pacific Ocean. Just a tidbit of trivia to pass along! And, of course, we had to stop for pictures...
