*creepy story ping* (long read, but worth it)

Very strange indeed.

sure glad that the money I spent on speedreading classes ... that I didn’t spend it on beer.

Ever get the feeling that this country went through the portal ?

[Quix]

INDEED.

Well put.

[Quix]

INDEED.

Had to have been the Spanish, I’d guess.

Any interesting artifacts found?

[Joya]

Wow. Thanks.

I love these kinds of stories. Reminds me of Louis L’Amour.

Reads like it could be the basis for the Sci-Fi novel “Conquistador” by SM Stirling.

And I’m STILL looking for that gate! ;)

good story, it is. Island in the Sea of Time is good, also, as are the sequels. All of them.

[SunkenCiv]

Oh, now I remember. Thanks Lancey Howard!

If only that gate was real. I would give all I own to find a gate like the one in Conquistador.

I’m not quite there with you, but close. There are a few items I’d like to take along. Many of the same ones John Rolfe VI took, among other things.

Just a figure of speech. I would also go equipped like John Rolfe. Imagine the potential of a untouched new world where you already knew what it could become. The stuff dreams are made of.
