In 1952 Dad took Grandpa on a train trip around the country (literally, Pittsburgh-Chi-NOLA-LA-SF-Tacoma-Chi-Pittsburgh) and they rode the Olympian Hiawatha from Tacoma to Chicago. According to a 1951 Timetable the train arrived in Avery at 1:20AM. Dad made sure they were awake for the ride through the Bitterroots.
