As I noted there: another beautiful but boring route. As one of my favorite characters from You Can't Take It with You says, "You can only take so much Adirondacks, and then you come home". Donner Pass is already way too much Adirondacks for this switching nut.

Boring is relative.

Derek,

If at all possible, please include snow effects like you did on Donner Pass. Marias Pass gets alot of snow during the winter months.

Hopefully this will include the industrial loop south east of Shelby. Otherwise there won't be much to do at the east end of the route.

Just looks like another Donner Pass... weird looking 3D trees, lack of direct line side detail, textures that look like a kids crayon scribble. Definately not on my shopping list.

I'm relatively boring. *!greengrin!* !*salute*!
"Life is like a journey, taken on a train
With a pair of travelers at each windowpane.
I may sit beside you all the journey through,
Or I may sit elsewhere, never knowing you.
But if fate should mark me to sit by your side,
Let's be pleasant travellers; it's so short a ride."
