My neighbors and I begin digging out after the Nor'easter dumped 29 inches (NWS official report) of snow, overnight. It took me 3 hours, using a snowblower, to clear my driveway and the walkway to the front door. 5/6 foot drifts were not uncommon.
The mail box at the end of the driveway stands 4 foot.

The tiny sanderlings were impressively effective hunters! As waves receded, they would spot tiny crustaceans breathing through the wet sand, dig them out when their sharp beaks, and hop away before the waves arrived again.

A Trip to Denver, 27-28 December 1982
I started working at McClellan AFB in Sacramento as a civilian in January 1982. I working on electronic equipment and the pay was a big jump from what I'd been making as a security guard before I went to Saudi Arabia in August 1981.
My Air National Guard training paid off!
I took a short vacation with some friends in October and then the Air Force decided to close the base for the week between Christmas and New Year.
I'd not ridden the Rio Grande Zephyr since I'd come home from USAF tech school in March 1978, and I thought a trip to Denver would be a good way to spend the week off.
So, I bought round trip Sacramento-Ogden tickets on Amtrak and Ogden (via connecting van)-Salt Lake City-Denver tickets on the RGZ. On previous trips to Denver in 1975 and 1978, I'd stayed at the Oxford Hotel, which in 1975 was an $8 per night flea bag one block up 17th Street from Union Station. The area around Union Station was still the skid row where Neal Cassady, muse of Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey and the Beats and hippies in general, had grown up.
27 December was a cloudy day in Sacramento. I must have gotten to the station in plenty of time for #6, as a westbound freight behind GP9s, an eastbound behind more modern power and the SN Port Job came through before the Zephyr, which might have been tardy. Over on Track 7, the Spirit of California, the short lived overnight Sacramento-LA train awaited departure.
I seem to have not taken any photos of our crossing of Donner Pass or at Sparks. Not sure why.
We were late into Ogden and the Rio Grande connecting van had left without us. Oh, well...
While the switch crews added the cars from the Pioneer (from Seattle and Portland) and Desert Wind (from LA and Las Vegas), I bought an Amtrak ticket for the Ogden-Denver leg of the trip.
We'd had an SP SD45T-2 helper over Donner and UP added GP40X 9003 to help us make up time between Ogden and Denver. The GP40Xes had high speed gearing and could maintain track speed across Wyoming.
Again, I didn''t take a lot of photos. I shot the train at Rawlins and Laramie and out the vestibule near Dale on Sherman Hill, but compared to what I would have been taking from the RGZ, the pickings are very slim. It was probably too damn cold to be sticking my head out of a vestibule window at 90 mph!
While there had been snow across Wyoming, when we got to Denver, the city was pretty well buried. After getting some photos of the SF Zephyr and the Rio Grande Zephyr, which arrived while 6 was in the station (6 must have been several hours late), I went out the front door of Union Station to find a city still digging out from the blizzard and the Oxford Hotel closed for renovation. (Today it is a very nice historic hotel in thriving downtown Denver. Anne and I stayed there in 1991 and it was nothing like the flophouse of the 1970s.)
So, no hotel, no real way to get around town, but good news...as soon as #6 departs, #5, the westbound Zephyr that was due in that morning would pull in. The weather had been bad all over the Plains states and rather than risk Amtrak getting stuck in a snowbank somewhere in western Nebraska, the BN had held the train somewhere until they could be sure the line was clear, so it was now 12 hours or so late.
With nothing to do in Denver and no way to get around, I exchanged my Ogden-Sacramento ticket for a Denver-Sacramento one and boarded the 12 hour tardy #5 when it pulled it. I promptly fell asleep, with visions of SP 21, the Overland Route mail train, in my head.

"A trip down memory lane--
As children we often love celebrations and holidays! Make a picture of you as a child during your favourite holiday or celebration."
My memorable holiday as a kid was out annual vacation to Ocean City Maryland. I loved the beach, and after a few years of digging with a plastic shovel, my Dad got me one of those small army surplus ones, all metallic and eventually rusty. One time I dug a hole so deep, I could not see out. The lifeguard came over and told me to stop. Dad had to lift me out of the hole. then we probably went for a ride on the old rubber raft (also army surplus).
I do love me some end cab switchers. Here near the Tulane University we found a NOPB transfer to UP dragging a long cut of cars to East Bridge where a UP crew with UP power would take over. April 27, 2017.

River Camel Padstow, Cornwall. Taken June 2019. This is a common sight within an hour or two of low tide. The machines are on a sand bank in the middle of the estuary so have to drive through water to get out and back. They look like big toys from the land.
