Geothermal Energy

Thanks to Anders, I can now access the internet from here in the Parlor Car on the Amtrak Coast Starlight. Here is Anders waiting for the train. We had a very long day and a very late night, due to a late train. We were all exhausted and ready to see our "sleeper cars." Now we are on our way to southern California.
Yesterday, Engineer Toni Boyd gave us a tour the geothermal plant at Klamath Falls, Oregon, where they use geothermal for heat mostly but also power and a novel usage: snowmelt off sidewalks and roadways! Thanks to Andy and Randy for the tour of the Heat Exchange plant and to Dale for explaining the snowmelt installation process.
Here, we walk through a tight tunnel to see the geothermal lines.
We have visited many train stations; here is the group waiting at Albany. We have conquered several set backs including lost luggage, late trains, van rentals not where they were supposed to be, and name mix ups on tickets. Thanks to quick thinking and organization, each challenge is overcome.
