NEXT UP ON TRAVEL ITCH: Rachel Welch, PR and Communications Manager, “Visit Durango, Colorado,” joins Travel Itch this Thursday, 9/16 @ 8:00 pm ET. A railroad town surrounded by snow-capped peaks, Durango is in Colorado’s Animas River Valley 6,512 feet above sea level. Best-known for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, Durango was founded by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company in 1880. The steam-powered train marked 120 years of service in 2002 but is still going strong — often as a setting for movies but also as a freight line for precious metals. It has carried more than $300 million in such cargo over the years. Tune in to learn more about Durango’s legacy, current status, and future plans. Also hear about nearby Mesa Verde National Park, Purgatory Resort, and the 1887 Strater Hotel. Listen live on iTunes or BlogTalkRadio. See you on the radio!

Hi, Dan and Mary Ellen. Just listened to your talk with Linda Ballou. I have read Linda’s book about Isabella Bird and she has read my horse memoir At Home on a Horse in the Woods. My horse travels have been more inward than Linda’s: the latest one in the same state forest on the same horse for 21 years. My 2nd book is about the horse-related craft of braiding horsehair jewelry which allows me to hear wonderful tales about the owners who order jewelry from the tail hair of the horses they love. The covers and links to both my books are on my website: swishtails.com. I am listed on LinkedIn but frankly don’t know how to navigate it. Not sure of my books fit into your blog concept, but if they do, I’d love to hear back from you. Regards, Jan(et) W. Alexander
