Tom.........used to joke skiing at Purgatory was H3LL at the bottom of the hill. Used to go snow camping in Boy Scouts in 1950's. Hadda surplus WW2 sleeping bag that was NEVER warm enuff even with WOOL liner bag from Korean War. This was in the days of before "DOWN" sleeping bags. And the SNOTT-SICKLES......one thing I learned, iff'n yer feet were cold, (and they always were) put a WOOL beanie on. Mom was a great believer in MORE SOCKS to keep yer feet warm. I've since learned too many socks cut the BLOOD off and yer feet are gonna be COLD, beanie or not. The LAST time I was in Durango in the winter time, you could catch the NARROW GAUGE train fer a ride 1/2-way up the canyon to Cascade Junction fer SNOW PICNIC.

He always rode in the CABOOSE and got "free" coffee off'n the coal stove. I rode with my Dad once and that coffee was SOOOoooo STRONG, it'd take the furr off'n yer tongue. This was in the days of 2-trains a week, now its at least 2-trains a day in the summer time. The LAST time I rode the train, I handed my camera to my 13yo son, and told him to take pictures. When his mother moved out and divorced me, guess where the pictures went? ..........Durango Dell
