Darn it, Paul!!!

That's just too tempting--why'd you have to post that?!?!

If it was $500, I'd never even consider it. Drop off one of those zeros, and now you've got my mind churning. Let's see...I can put the kayak on the train and go...anywhere?!?!

: I was considering a trip to Alaska about 2 years ago and did some searching
: for train info on the web. AMTRAK did not have anything soecifically
: mentioned tht I couod find, but in Canada you can take your canoe or kayak
: on the train with you. The limit was 18 feet long, and if I remember
: correctly, they charged a flat fee of $50. They just put the thing in the
: baggage car and treat it like oversize luggage.
