Carol,
The ride through Harkins Slough is a big step up from the homeless camps at the wye, residents throwing objects at the train on the Westside and the Brussels sprouts fields where Christmas Town was located. You do understand the train has to operate out of Watsonville this year since the La Selva Bridge is out of service?
BTW, I see coach seating has sold out already on some of the trips.
