In case you are wondering who the two young men in the 'Williston to Fargo' slideshow might be, our son Eliot (right) and his pal Alex (left), who were good friends and next door neighbors in Amherst, Massachusetts, decided to take a train ride across the country to spend a few days hiking and rafting with our daughter, Alysoun, in Heron, Montana. We knew that the west bound Amtrak Empire Builder would stop in Williston, North Dakota for a few minutes so scheduled our ride to get there just at the right time, just enough for hugs and photos. It was well worth the effort. We hadn't seen Alex for 10 years -- he is now three times as tall as when we knew him in Amherst, and Eliot is our anchor man in Stratham, New Hampshire. Planning to have the cooler of champagne ready at Rye Harbor when we arrive there, to dip our wheels in the Atlantic, hopefully in about 6-7 weeks.
