From Eastern Washington to North Dakota on the AMTRAK ~ May 2023

Adventures are worthwhile, even when 21 hours late I take the trip from Pasco, WA, to North Dakota twice a year to visit my kids in North Dakota. If everything goes according to plan A, AMTRAK takes 21 hours from A to B. This time it took quit a bit longer due to freight train…

Adventures are worthwhile, even when 21 hours late

I take the trip from Pasco, WA, to North Dakota twice a year to visit my kids in North Dakota. If everything goes according to plan A, AMTRAK takes 21 hours from A to B. This time it took quit a bit longer due to freight train issues on the way. Taking off six hours late from Pasco and additional delays in Spokane, I had an opportunity to film areas that we usually experience in the middle of the night. After sorting through 150 video clips, here are 11+ minutes from a trip that took almost two days.

ANGELIKA URSULA DIETRICH, owner and publisher of Wild Horses Thunder and Wild Horses Media Productions, is a professional Photographer, Videographer, Publisher, Writer, Social Media Consultant, and Website Developer.

Angelika’s photography work has been displayed on the front cover of Idaho Magazine (2022), the Nimiipuu Tribal Tribune, Cowboy Lifestyle Network (2021), Cowboys & Indians (2016 & 2018), and in various Oregon and Washington entertainment and vacation publications, Chief Joseph Days Rodeo Program and website (2012-2020), at Art Gallery Festivals, private businesses, as well as for display advertisement for many clients in and out of Wallowa County including the Wallowa County Chieftain (2003-2007). Between 2007 and 2009, Angelika worked in radio as the news and sports director for owners Lee and Carol Lee Perkins at KWVR Radio in Enterprise, Oregon. After the station was sold, she created Wallowa Valley Online, an independent online news magazine publishing and writing news and engaging in photojournalism. After ten years of Wallowa Valley Online, Angelika decided to concentrate on her professional photography, write more human interest stories, and volunteer at the Nez Perce Wallowa Homeland.

Regarding my writing: “As a grandchild of post-war Europe (ethnic ancestry Bohemian/Austrian/German) and former Army spouse, I have lived and visited many places across the globe. Wallowa County, Oregon, has been my home since 2002. I am the daughter of a mom whose country violently vanished post-WWII. Her family was forcefully removed from Bohemia in 1946 when she was only six years young and sent to West Germany in cattle wagons. Her life story has tremendously impacted my own and formed my views on humanity and, at times, the lack thereof.
My formal college education is in the nursing field and psychology, which finds itself in my work as a writer and photographer. I am a humanitarian by heart and soul.” ~Angelika Ursula Dietrich
