Dang it, Rick. I told you to behave. This time, you have come up with the ultimate solution and you deserve full credit.
Disney in Plume would be sweet dessert. I'm all for it. That would wipe out all the nasty history and provide jobs for all those locals that are so anxious to profit from the railroad's revenue. All the mine shafts could be used just like the underground tunnels at Disneyland. Something has got to sweeten the current negative disposition of this mess.
A few years ago, I was working as a conductor on the Loop. Before the train got to Hall Tunnel, a passenger pointed out a bear in the trees. Later, a lady came up to me and told me that our props looked very life-like. Since we can no longer distinquish props from reality, 900 plus acres would be great for a theme park.
Cuddles, give Uncle Roy a call and invite him for a ride.
