3 men and a train...

3 bass drummers have decided to take the four day scenic route from sf to rochester. we'll post updates and pictures below from "america's best train ride"

Union Station, Chicago IL.

Well we finally made it here to Chicago. We were five hours late, so our six hour adventure of downtown was limited to grabbing a bite to eat within our terminal. The important thing is were here in one piece, and in time for our connecting train. We should be pulling out any minute, and arriving into Rochester shortly before eleven am.

so goodnight from the Lakeshore limited train, we'll see ya in the morning.

Rainy rails in Iowa

Not that it really matters since we're completely inside, but when we woke up this morning in Nebraska we were greated by rains and flash floods.

I started to write a blog last night about our impromptu "dinner show" that involved a drunk 72 year old man getting hog tied after calling FBI agents "fake nazi cops",and then deciding it would be a good idea to try and kick them. Lets just say he didn't quite make it to chicago, and the Denver police greeted him at our next stop. Great story.

We're 356 miles from Chicago now, due to arrive around eight.


Home of the Corn Huskers!

Rainy Iowa

There's another journey going on

We wanted to give some quick love to to another group of guys making the trip cross country. The vehicle named the contrabego has been pushing hard since the end of practice sunday, due to arrive tomorrow . They haven't had it as easy as we have, but im sure they have had just as much fun. They have been hauling all our gear, and we really appreciate it,

safe travels boys.
