Passenger Trains > moon amtrak!Date: 10/21/02 12:11 moon amtrak! Author: BigDave Date: 10/21/02 13:07 Re: moon amtrak! Author: JohnThomas It\'s a staple of Orange County counterculture. Below is from the 2001 event, which, if I recall correctly, was relatively lightly attended due to inclimately cool weather.

Counterculture? It\'s the only culture to be found in a place so known for master planned communities that many can\'t wait to get away from it. It\'s better to live in an older part of the county where you can leave your garage door open for more than an hour on Saturday. And even fantasyland is a "real" man-made attraction in this county!

When riding the eastbound Zephyr through the Ruby canyon in Utah, the car attendants will warn everybody on board about the "Zephyr Salute". Everyone quickly understands what the warning is about as the rafters traveling down the Colorado River are the guilty "Mooners". Obviously the river at this point does not have enough rapids!.
