I found on ebay a hiking stick medal.  When I scrolled down to read the description, a pleasant surprise.  The item description is accompanied by a very interesting read about Big Bend. Heres the link...

Wow...is the seller really just selling the medallion, or does he work for a chamber of commerce in the area?
Great, easy to read information though.  Nice unexpected find!

They're looking for dealers;  says you need a retail outlet, but maybe Casa Grande could find some way to qualify.  Perfect match for BigBendChat.

... and that read is cribbed word-for-word from Wikipedia:

Thank you Hayduke, no wonder it seemed so correct.  Either way, I like it.

Best item up for auction, i have read in Ebay.com , and those medallions are not bad to have them set up as a selling point, David Locke.

  The guy , sure knows how to do a sales presentation, he/she is tops in my book.

 But the hat goes off to you Starlitdarkness3 , for posting the link to us.


Lo Felicito......... eusa_clap
