8/29/09 - Below are some emails that Becky and I have started receiving since
the new Colorado Vintage Railways site I made finally, as of yesterday,
started to appear on the search engines .. In the next few weeks this
will escalate dramatically as all 11 pages make it too. We shoot to
the top of the charts because of our hundreds of sites that get
well over a million visits per year.
Please feel free to send us your email below if you enjoyed this site.

Hi Dave & Becky,
We want to thank you for the photos and synopsis that you put on
the web about your Country Wide Tour. We are leaving for the same trip
on Monday. My husband has been a train buff forever and especially
steam. You did a wonderful job with the photos and the music was such
fun as well. It was very helpful. We are also going a day early and
staying a post day as well. This is our first tour. We usually only do
the RV stuff. We are taking Amtrak to Denver. We will see how that
goes.
Many thanks,
Jim & Marilyn Wenberg

Hey Doc,
This looks like a lot of fun to me! Every September Mary Lynn and I do a car tour
throughout the Rockies and love that part of the country.
By the way nice choice of music.

Beach Concours where we have shown our 1933 Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton Packard "Blackie"

Hi Doc!
GREAT STUFF! I've had family emergency things happening this past couple
weeks, what a delight to come home to find your message. I'm motivated to
get back into the recorder archives and see what other audio nuggets I can
dig up to share.
Dinner calling
Cheers

A note .. Bob is the sound recording guru that has furnished the steam sound for our
Cumbres/Toltec and Durango Sites on our Colorado Vintage Railway tour sites. He was
on the McCloud #25's last run with me and is putting a documentary together on it.

Hi Doc Hempe,
Thanks for sending us the information on the wonderful website you put together about your
trip on the Colorado Vintage Railways tour this past July. The photos are fun to look at.
The Tour Coordinator is sharing the website with the fellow travelers. We also want to
share the site with others interested in the tour so we wanted to let you know we placed
a link to your site on our World Wide Country Tours Facebook page and would also like
to place a link on the Colorado tour page on our website. Adding links to site is new
for us. We have done it with articles from our sister magazines but not with other
sites. Our Facebook page is also new and still in the testing stage so it has not
been launched to our customers.
Glad you and Becky enjoyed the tour. Thanks again for your continued business and support
of our “Delightfully Different Vacations”.
Take Care

A follow up note that I replied to Marie, Staff and C.E.O. of WWCT.
Becky and I are really into promoting things that are and are from heartland America ..
That is why we love Country Wide Tours plus you do do a great job .... Class act tour
directors, Coach operators like Nathan Black are second to none and the new coaches are
really great to travel in .. and the price is just right ...
Also .. from your country magazines you get a high percentage of heartland folks ..
Farmers, Ranchers, etc .. Hard working people that finally have the time and
resources to travel to all the great places you provide.
Also ..Thanks for the phone call .. is great to be appreciated since that is all we
ever get! (grin)
Kindest of Regards,
Dave & Becky Hempe
P.S. .... Placing the links are great ... I have been doing this for 15 years now and
like I said all our many sites get millions of hits per year in total as per search
engines ... and those that link back to us will see their own official site visits go
way up too.
