Wayland Post Tote Bag Shows How the West Was Won

By John Flaherty

By John Flaherty

Who says local news doesn’t get around? Our tote has been traveling coast to coast — by rail, road, and Redwood. Here’s where it’s been spotted lately:

California Dreaming

  • Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco — Fog, wind, and views for days.
  • Marin County Line — Crossing county lines and staying curious.
  • Half Moon Bay Brewing Co. — Toasting to good journalism and better beer.
  • Stinson Beach — Where the surf is chill and so is the vibe.
  • Mt. Tamalpais State Park — Among the redwoods, our tote wandered off the page.
  • Historic Route 66 — Cruising the mother road, old-school style.
  • Van Nuys Amtrak Station — Making moves in SoCal.

Rail Tales & High Desert Trails

  • Sacramento, CA — Statehouse energy meets train whistle nostalgia.
  • Reno, NV — High desert grit and one helpful Amtrak crew.
  • Winnemucca, NV — Still rolling through cowboy country.
  • Green River, UT — Sunrise through the dust. Utah’s got character.
  • Grand Junction, CO — Spotted at the modern station and the historic depot.

Colorado Calling

  • Union Station, Denver — Big city class with old-world rail charm.
  • Golden, CO — “Where the West Lives”… and the Post rides in style.
