The hardest part is about over.

Carrying the Bike Friday folded in its bag on the left side with the strap over the right shoulder, the Rick Steve's bag as a backpack and the rear bag hanging on the right shoulder from the car into the station, to find the back of the seat assignment line, then slowly progress to get the seat asssignment.  Then directly out the gate and another 100 yards to make it to my car and into it to disgorge my load.  The BF and the Rick Steve's in the compartment at the end of the car, the rear bag overhead.  The netbook in lap and using the Amtrak Cascades Wi-Fi and we will soon be arriving in Centralia, about 20 minutes (despite a timely departure, on the dot at 18:15) late due to freight traffic getting out of the station and a Columbia River bridge lift for maritime traffic.  The sun should be setting as we arrive in Centralia.
Just need to offload all the baggage, and then use the BF  as the beast of burden to make my way to the Motel 6. then Dinner, set up the bike and get to bed
