I was thinking about flying out from the east to ride this year's Feather River Express sponsored by Trains Unlimited Tours.
Unfortunately, the severity and extent of the drought combined with high temperatures in the Sierras leads me to wonder if the route is at risk for being closed by fires. Therefore, I have no made plans to ride this excursion.
I may be unduly pessimistic as the trip is 88% full. I could also be making a huge mistake by passing on this excursion as it may be my last chance to ride a train through Feather River Canyon.
If any of you ride on this trip, I hope my fears are not realized.
