The Argon Express: Whitefish, Montana

Posted by Tue, 20 Jun 2006 15:05:00 GMT

I was only able to catch a short conversation with Robby this morning as the train was preparing to depart Whitefish, Montana. They should be rolling along the southern edge of Glacier National Park soon. I didn’t get much of an update on what the guys have been up to on the train, but I will keep you posted as I get more information.

It’s been just about 16 hours since the bulk of the group left Portland. Be sure to check out our Argon Express photoset and the Argon Express group photo pool for hot rails on rails action.

We're moving...

Dear David and Allison,

For the next two days, I will have a guest blogger to post updates from the Argon Express. This guest blogger has been known to hang out in #planetargon as allisbe and is the Creative Director at PLANET ARGON.

Some of the passengers should be getting into Portland this afternoon and we leave in less than 4 hours!

All aboard the Argon Express in just three days

  2. Brian Ford
  3. Chris Anderson
  4. Dave Goodlad
  5. Jamie Macey
  6. Jason Watkins

This should be pretty fun… and I’ll try to take a ton of photos and share any interesting stories from the trip.

I expect to do a lot of reading, writing in my personal journal, talking shop with many of these people, and enjoying the sights. :-)

We’re finally getting our confirmations for who is coming to RailsConf with the team at PLANET ARGON via the peace train Argon Express. We’re departing Portland, Oregon on June 19th… the names of people who confirm are being added to the site.

...this should be fun… and you can still join us if you act soon!
