Got it

Alright, I guess I got a little to far ahead with the plan, I'll go back to square one. That's a good idea to get people to take care of the remaining artifacts until the line is built. Less for us to do later! There's not much I can do from here in California, any suggestions. This fall, in addition to looking for survivng cars for Dave Dyes site, I can try to do as much research on site as possible, and I'm bringing hours of film to use, so I'll document everything. I might be able to get my father to write some letters to congressmen of CO and NM, as well as the city councils involved. That might help get us some more support early on, after all, we don't want to do all the work on finding the grade and analizing it if the towns and people don't want it (Hopefully, we won't enconter this).
On the subject of other possible sources of tourists, and maybe freight, here are my ideas: 1 I don't know the landscpae around there, but maybe a ski rosort could be built 2 Backpackers/campers, works for the D&S And of course, to the railfan, the possibility of a 220 continuous trip over narrow gauge is certainly going to be enticing.
For the roadbed, is there anyone who has said they will scout it?, I won't have a chance until about October 10. We also need to know if tunnels need to be made, or overpasses and such. If we are lucky, those costly things will be few. We also need somebody to determine what kind of revenue in terms of dollars we are looking at.
