No place to turn around between Osier and Big Horn, Bill -
And as you noted, the point is to have a good time – hopefully with others of us old-timers who were there on 10/22/72 – and NOT to worry about getting 5,000,000 more Phraud-O-Graphs® just like the ones we got last year. Also, the night before The Rattler was the third Great Event — an evening train that ran from Chama to Osier for an
al fresco "Sunset Steak Dinner" followed by a (very late) return under a nearly full moon, so IMHO commemorating two events for not too much more than the price of one could be a plus. (I haven't checked the phase of the moon for 10/22/22 yet.)
