Lewis & Clark Trail
From Edward Watkins: "We are planning a trip to Lewis & Clark country this summer. We plan to fly to Bismarck, ND and start there. I've studied the Lewis & Clark trail somewhat and understand that much of it between Ft. Peck, MT and Great Falls, MT is difficult to access although there are a few sites which are better than others. We would appreciate hearing from those who've 'done' the Trail concerning what should not be missed and what can be skipped. We also plan to divert and go to Glacier National Park and, later, to Yellowstone."
more> Spirit Vacations Offers Received in the Mail
From Teresa Hall: "We received a package with some 'free' vacations to choose from that had to be returned within 21 days of the date of issue. We sent in some processing fees that were charged for each one we chose. For instance, one was Two free airline tickets. One trip was to either Las Vegas for 2 days or another location and that included the hotel. One we chose was for a cruise. The other was to a resort for a week, mainly paying for the hotel stay. I am just wondering if anybody has heard of this, done anything like it and what your experiences were with it. Any feedback would be most appreciated. We ended up spending $179 in processing fees."

more> Amtrak Train Stations
From Dharm Guruswamy: "I have to take issue with Sascha Segan's criticism of Amtrak stations in Atlanta and St. Louis. Firstly, Atlanta's train station is much closer to downtown than the airport. Also, while it is not connected to the subway there is frequent bus service to the Arts Cetner MARTA station where one can transfer to the subway for free. As to St. Louis, it was always an interim station. However, it does function well. It's within walking distance of a light rail station and almost as close to downtown as the restored Union Station and it offers free parking."
