Thanks for the updates, Ink. It is so sad to see all these American institutions disappear. I wonder what the peak number of strips in the USA was back in the 60's? Hundreds I would imagine.
Thing is, Jim, there are no other options up here in this part of the country. 500 or more miles to Seattle/ Tacoma and even more down into Oregon. Montana really has no major tracks at least in the W end of the state. Boise has a track a LONG ways from up here.
