Thanks to all who showed an interest in this little “mystery” in Durango. I appreciate all comments. All the contributions to this thread really show “the truth is out there”. Dave Dye’s contribution of his overlays are invaluable… Always…
Chris, I am guessing you are referring to the reek of methane from both mines that were said to be on the same vein! There are spots around Durango that can get fairly ripe at certain times of the year… For years the running gag between my kids in the car was, “Dad! Was that you!!”… Ah, respect...
Continuing…
This morning, Cres Fleming, Durango resident, RR history researcher and all around great guy, eMailed me some partial copies of one of his maps (from his magnificent collection) that tell a little more of the story. Just what I was hoping for! Of course now, there are more questions I’d like to find the answers to…
Thanks to all who played!
