Yeah So I'm a dumbass. Thanks my friend. I left the door wide open for a "let me Google that for you", and you allowed me to save face.

"Bone" up on the Cope and Marsh dino wars, some of it took place in the Canon City area

Shotgunner being a herp man probably knew about the Cope/Marsh ordeal. The Gold Mine outside of Canon City was one of the first significant rock shops I ever visited, and. . . I've been kicking myself every since then that I didn't buy more of stuff that I have not seen or seen at those prices since. I hope its still as diverse and tempting.

Hope you make it to the Gorge. We started for there once but saw a farmer's market in Canon City. Had to stop. Met a guy there selling spent grain bread (leftover from his microbrewery). Boasted he had best fish and chips as well as fine bear up the road in downtown Canon City. Brew pub was smack dab in middle of old town. Every other business around was antique stores. Finally made it on road to gorge but decided too late in day. Supposed to be really nice. Have a great trip.

Thanks John. We will hit the gorge. Last trip to Columbus she ran me ragged. Im hoping for some RR on this trip. A few rock shops, nice foods, beers and bourbons will be nice. johnjsgems

You want to pick through my rough at my daughter's place in Black Forest? Not what I'd call "A" grade, but it's cheap.
