I seriously looked into Adams State College in Alamosa, and Ft. Lewis in Durango. The problem for me was that I would have had to apply sometime in 1968-1969, with the hope the NG would still be running in the summer, but after that last train in December of 68, things did not look good. Also Ft. Lewis did not allow Freshmen to have cars on campus or something like that. Forget that!!! So it would have been all Durango-Silverton if I had gone there, and no freights!!! I guess on the upside I could have been a volunteer for the beginning of the C&TS had I gone out there.
