Tomorrow morning, an Amtrak bus will deliver me to the train in Bakersfield, which passes through fields of roses in Wasco

I always enjoy the Amtrak bus ride from the Mojave Desert to Bakersfield (with a stop at Panda Express in the Barstow Station food court for a filling rice plate; I'm hungry!). The Amtrak San Joaquin train up California's Central Valley is a nice way to end a trip.
