Who says local news doesn’t get around? Our tote has been traveling coast to coast — by rail, road, and Redwood. Here’s where it’s been spotted lately:

California Dreaming

  • Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco — Fog, wind, and views for days.
  • Marin County Line — Crossing county lines and staying curious.
  • Half Moon Bay Brewing Co. — Toasting to good journalism and better beer.
  • Stinson Beach — Where the surf is chill and so is the vibe.
  • Mt. Tamalpais State Park — Among the redwoods, our tote wandered off the page.
  • Historic Route 66 — Cruising the mother road, old-school style.
  • Van Nuys Amtrak Station — Making moves in SoCal.

Rail Tales & High Desert Trails

  • Sacramento, CA — Statehouse energy meets train whistle nostalgia.
  • Reno, NV — High desert grit and one helpful Amtrak crew.
  • Winnemucca, NV — Still rolling through cowboy country.
  • Green River, UT — Sunrise through the dust. Utah’s got character.
  • Grand Junction, CO — Spotted at the modern station and the historic depot.

Colorado Calling

  • Union Station, Denver — Big city class with old-world rail charm.
  • Golden, CO — “Where the West Lives”… and the Post rides in style.
