This was my first time on the Skunk Train. A bit disappointing. Short distance from Willits to Crowley. Scenery was more California Oaks & from pictures on website I was expecting more of the redwoods. I had traveled on the Durango to Silverton small gauge train in Colorado (pretty darn spectacular!) so I guess I was a bit spoiled. That being said, they had entertainment on the Skunk Train, which was fun. The other downside: on the way back, you are in the same seat (going backwards now), seeing the same scenery. If I do another ride, I will consider the one that leaves out of Fort Bragg. Otherwise, the people were gracious & all in all a pleasant trip. Part of our California history.
