Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
The Durango & Silverton offers one of the most spectacular train rides in North America. Steep grades, sharp curves, narrow ledges, and perilous chasms are the hallmarks of this popular narrow gauge tourist railroad. Much of the route can only be accessed by train, and the pristine beauty of southwestern Colorado's San Juan Range remains hidden to all but the railroad's crews and travelers. Over three years in the making, this show takes you into the heart of the Durango & Silverton line. You'll see all the famous locations: the breathtaking Highline balancing 400 feet above the River of the Lost Souls, the Narrows, Rockwood Cut with its huge red granite rock formations, and Silverton, perched at an elevation of 9,288 feet. Mikado steam locomotives are seen hard at work throughout the tourist seasons and there are exquisite scenes of a rare winter excursion when the landscape is blanketed with snow. Touring the train yards and servicing areas, filled with restored historic equipment, is reminiscent of the early days of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. Here are the scenic wonders of narrow gauge railroading through the Rockies as few have seen them.

Defiance and Deference in Mexico's Colonial North: Indians under Spanish Rule in Nueva Vizcaya
"This is a major contribution to the theoretical literature on identity and to the history of northern Mexico and Latin America in general." --William L. Merrill, Curator of Anthropology, Smithsonian Institution In their efforts to impose colonial rule on Nueva Vizcaya from the sixteenth century to the middle of the seventeenth, Spaniards established missions among the principal Indian groups of present-day eastern Sinaloa, northern Durango, and southern Chihuahua, Mexico--the Xiximes, Acaxees, Conchos, Tepehuanes, and Tarahumaras. Yet, when the colonial era ended two centuries later, only the Tepehuanes and Tarahumaras remained as distinct peoples, the other groups having disappeared or blended into the emerging mestizo culture of the northern frontier. Why were these two indigenous peoples able to maintain their group identity under conditions of conquest, while the others could not? In this book, Susan Deeds constructs authoritative ethnohistories of the Xiximes, Acaxees, Conchos, Tepehuanes, and Tarahumaras to explain why only two of the five groups successfully resisted Spanish conquest and colonization. Drawing on extensive research in colonial-era archives, Deeds provides a multifaceted analysis of each group's past from the time the Spaniards first attempted to settle them in missions up to the middle of the eighteenth century, when secular pressures had wrought momentous changes. Her masterful explanations of how ethnic identities, subsistence patterns, cultural beliefs, and gender relations were forged and changed over time on Mexico's northern frontier offer important new ways of understanding the struggle between resistance and adaptation in which Mexico's indigenous peoples are still engaged, five centuries after the "Spanish Conquest."

A naturalist captures the beauty and capriciousness of nature as he reflects on twenty-five years of life on a mountainside in southwestern Colorado
Twenty-five years ago David Petersen and his wife, Caroline, pulled up stakes, trading Laguna Beach, California, for a snug hand-built cabin in the wilderness. Today he knows that mountain land as intimately as anyone has ever known his family, his lover, or his own true self. He has become so attuned to his environment, as this memoir demonstrates, that when a dead twig snaps, he knows what stepped on it, how much it weighs, and what its intentions are.
The author conflates a quarter century into the adventures of four high-country seasons, tracking the rigors of survival from the snowmelt that announces the arrival of spring to the decline and death of autumn and winter that will establish the fertile ground needed for next spring's rebirth. Throughout each instance of personal history and story, Petersen illustrates the complete reciprocity of nature where the same impulse that governs the flight of elk or bear also governs the predator's impulse of pursuit.
In the past we listened to Henry David Thoreau and Aldo Leopold; today it is Petersen's turn. A committed believer in Thoreau's dictum "in wildness is the preservation of the earth," Petersen's observations are lyrical, scientific, and from the heart. In this chaotic age, his clear, direct prose is rich with mystery and soul, his words a plea for the survival of the remnant wilderness that surrounds us.

Voting Question: 1999 dodge durango gas problem?
I just recently bough a repossessed vehicle, so I am not totally sure about the history on this vehicle. I have notied randomly that I am having a hard time getting it started. Sometimes it will fire up of the first ignition no problem, other times it will fire up and then die within a few seconds. When I am having that problem, i have to hold down on the brake and the press the gas for a second.
The gas is not cheap, since my cab company buys its gas from a very well known distribution center, and I have tried filling up at another gas station.
I am guessing it might be a fuel injector problem, or a fuel pump since it seems its wanting gas by me needing to hold down on the gas pedal. Does anyone know why it would be causing this problem? Any suggestions? I want to try to fix this myself before bringing it into a mechanic. Thanks.
the engine is a V8 if that helps anyone. Like I've said, the gas is not bad since none of the crown vics are recieving the same problem.
When I realise I have problems getting it started, thats when I hold down on the gas as I turn over the ignition. It will fire up, and I have to sometimes hold down on the gas for the vehicle to to keep running. Its when I let go it dies. This doesnt happen all the time, but there is a problem and I would like to catch it before it gets worst.
