What I understand is 28% less riders equals 28% less money in the till as compared to 2009. Chris from the West agency is working on the numbers and as soon as I get them I will post the details.

We still are in trouble for operating money because of the decrease in ridership and the unexpected expenses of moving equipment to Cumbres Pass, so things like your slide sales are very important. Barbara and I are going to send the check to the friends for the penny machine money and it will go to the same CANDELARIA LOBATO FUND that you are sending money to.
