I caught the bug while watching a special onPBS back in 1982 about the D&S. I was already hooked on mainline steam at the time and seeing the narrow gauge stuff hanging off the side of the mountains was a blast. Just had to go there and ride. Anyway, the next summer we took the whole family, wife and the 4 kids and rode the Durango and Silverton. I have been completely hooked since then. About 10 years later I found out about the C&TS and we went there. Finally found heaven but didn't ahve to die. My wife and I a now members of the Friends own property to build on for our retirement in the Chama area and can't wait to retire.
