    Entry Post: Thanks for the contest @lordmarcovan! I'm not 100% sure I want to win, though. You might make me start collecting Roman coins!

    @MountainMan - my wife and I visited Montana last year. Had I been a little smarter, we should have looked you up! We didn't pass very far from you (Hwy 90 thru Butte/Drummond/Missoula...), on our way to GNP. I have to admit, that's my favorite Nat'l Park yet. We usually stay on the East side, at Swiftcurrent Lodge, but this time there was a staffing problem, and we were moved to Many Glacier Hotel for the same cost - not too shabby. We've been to GNP quite a few times, and have talked about moving out to either Montana or Colorado in retirement. Well, we're retired now and looking around. But, housing prices are still too expensive - hoping for a downturn.

    Hmm, I'm supposed to post something to please @MountainMan. Well, first of all, thanks for all your contributions to this forum! From what I've read over the years, you're a pretty cool dude, and are very knowledgeable and willing to share your knowledge with others! Thanks for that, and thanks for taking our friend @PamR under your wing!

    Here's a pic of a little friend we made along the Redrock Falls hike! He was one of many we saw on this trip! He was so cute and fluffy, I just had to go up and give him a big hug! Sooo coool!!!!!

    Entry Post: @Mountain Man has taught me many things about coins but most of all, teaching me to not just to look at a coin but to get to know that coin. Makes sense to me of how I worded it. But as he always says, “if coins could talk” which I know many have said. So more or less, anyone can have a coin but a coin to him, has a story. I’m no where near the collector as many of you are here, but going through my dad’s and mom’s coins, yes Lincoln’s, by the way, @Mountain Man does not care for Zincolns lol. But going through them, he has made me feel welcome here.
    I would like this entry post to go to @Cheech9712 if I am the winner so she can begin her a new collection. Thank you @lordmarcovan for doing this for our friend. You are a gem!

    If I wake up in the middle of the night (as is so often the case on the nights when I’m off work), I might do the drawing in the wee hours. Time to get your last-minute entries in, if you haven’t already entered! ;)

    Whaddya know, I slept through the whole night. Not something that usually happens. Being a hotel night auditor and thus accustomed to a nocturnal cycle, I’m often up all hours of the night, even when I’m off work. But last night I slept.

    Anyway, now it’s daytime on the 21st, and the birdies are chirping outside. Let me go to my desktop PC and we’ll do the drawing…
