Journey to Self 7

Chapter Seven:

He drove through Grand Junction, into Utah, and back down to Moab, where he stayed in a hotel for the night. Putting together his footage of the train ride into two parts. The first part went to Glenwood with full commentary running in it as he had filmed it.
The second was silent and started with the train’s departure before the sun rose that morning. No commentary from him, just the opening strains of 2001 starting to play as the sky lit up and hit crescendo as it crested the mountain as seen from his seat’s camera.

Snowy mist enveloped the tracks and mountains as the video continued. The music transfers over to Haggard’s The Silver Ghost.

The song faded away into the background and was later replaced by a Justin Townes Earle’s song
The haunting music set to the swirling snowy mist surrounding the red rocks of the Rockies.

The video reached the other side of the mountains. Fading into darkness.

Opening to the forlorn sound of a train whistling in the background. The view from a hotel room windows out to see a passing train in the evening.
The sun faded away into the background in the background Buck playing his old guitar. Fast Freight by the Kingston Trio.
The haunting music set to the swirling snowy mist surrounding the red rocks of the Rockies.

From there the darkening sky as another train goes by.
