Secret Adventure

I am at the gate at the airport at Tallahassee - backpack in hand - ready to board a flight to Chicago. A long time ago - a good friend of mine made a secret adventure trip to Chicago. I am going there re-live his experiences.

Back in August of 1962 - I made my first big cross country trip on a train. It went from Scranton to New Mexico. The Boy Scouts have a big camp there called Philmont. On that trip - the train went form Scranton to Chicago to Denver finally ending up in Cimarron, New Mexico. It feels like yesterday but it was 47 years ago when I was 14.

Follow along on the trip.
