[Tanx] TA Substitute?

[J. Braun]

Arriving on Amtrak late at night is a bonus since you can kick back and
relax as the train crosses the boring Nevada desert. You get the Sierras
during the day and then take a nap.

I am in San Diego and Death Valley until the end of the month. After that
(1 Nov) is good.

I'll send pictures of the TA in DV.
