Given the time and the means, I've always liked Colorado in May...... or New Mexico.
Since you've got the California Zephyr in your sites for August, maybe you would like to try something that works in the Southwest Chief. The portion between Trinidad, CO and Albuquerque, NM is very interesting...... and a world away from someone accustomed to coastal plains.

Good suggestion, David! Perhaps I could go west from Atlanta on the Crescent! I am also going to miss the LA to San Fran portion of the Coast Starlight on my August trip... So, working that in would be nice if I can.
The time is no problem... the "means"...on the other hand... will be a challenge!

Anon it seems our Traveling Granny Will - with her spouse - place ample fanny In a room some think to small, We shall have to wait and hear her call.
When you return and file a report Me thinks it best that you resort To citing trains with parentheses And acronyms, not name cities.
I must of needs though, tell you true That I won't be able to tell where you Have been or are or came and went My synapses are to old and bent.
Still, I know that you'll be on a train, I trust the wonder and fun of same Will give you pause to report here-on About it, when you've come and gone.

The muse she comes the muyse she goes And truth is that I never knows 'bou what or who she'll ascertain To under my a.s.s. light a flame And to paper put my pen.
But glad to have this audience To appreciate my humorous sense And encourage me to more oft submit My poems and prose and occassional wit. And so I have again.
