I hope I don't get drummed out of Coin Community, or The Knights for confessing this, but I feel I must. We just returned from a family reunion in Durango, Colorado. It was fun. Beautiful Condo located in the mountains near Durango. Deer and elk walking through the yard. Narrow gauge train running on a little rise literally through the back yard. Jacuzzi, Daily rain making for a temperature of about 70 degrees. And, I got to go to "four-corners." Lived in Colorado 60 plus years, and this was my first trip to the four-corners. Stood in four states at the same time. Also, a little coincidence. Stood in line at four-corners with people from Mesa, Arizona and Kokomo, Indiana, the homes of CC members dsking and ndgoflo! Well anyway, that's the good news! The bad news is that I was so busy having a good time I never made it to the two coin stores in Durango which were supposed to have a great inventory. Please forgive me!  |

Gary, you must perform some sort of act of contrition although I think pattiewack's solution might be a little extreme. It doesn't have to be a gold coin you send to each of the CCF members; silver will be fine.  One of these days, I want to make it to Durango to ride the Silverton and Durango RR. But I wish you hadn't told me about the two coin shops in Durango. Now I'll have no excuse myself for not stopping. Four Corners is only about 300 miles from where I am now near Flagstaff. Shudda dropped in. Now you have to make additional penitence.  I'll take the gold after all. Fred |

Fred:
One of the things I kick myself for is the fact that for many years I could have ridden the train for free -- as much as I wanted.
Both my parents, and my grand father worked for the D&RGWRR when it owned and operated the narrow gauge now called the D&SNGR. I had a pass to ride any D&RGW passenger train, and in my younger days there were four daily trains out of my hometown of Grand Junction, as well as the narrow gauge.
Oh well.
You are correct in that I must make amends. I will begin saving the needed gold coins to send out. Unfortunately, that may take a while.

No hurry. I'll be around the Flagstaff area until September. Being closer to up there will save you some on shipping. [:0]  |

Sounds like an awsome trip. Wish I could live in a rural state to see deer and elk. Sounds magestic.

Don't send mine until gold is 1000 an ounce. Then, you can really feel the pain...... MM |

This act is simply too horrendous to overlook. I submit you forward a new gold Buffalo to each member that reads this post, and only then will you be considered for forgiveness  |

It was probably a sign from God that there wasn't anything there for you anyway... Glad you had a good trip, though. I guess you are just going to have to go visit again soon! |
