Hello everyone,

This is the new CP treasure chest! In future contests or drawings held here at ColoradoProspector.com, you might win the chance to pick your own prize from the treasure chest.
Keep your eyes open as you browse around the site and visit often because you just never know when or where the next contest or clue might be found!

As time goes on there will be additions to this thread for choices of goodies too.
This particular thread will be locked but feel free to start another about it with q's if needed anytime.

We like to do things a bit different around here and at events as many of you know. smile.gif Picking ones own prize for drawings/contests has always worked out well for everyone so we will continue that CP tradition online. wink.gif
Following posts will have prize choices. See you all soon and good luck!

Quote from the back of the book....

QUOTE
The First Space Race reveals the inside story of an epic adventure with world-altering stakes. From 1955 to 1958, American and Soviet engineers battled to capture the world’s imagination by successfully launching the world’s first satellite. The race to orbit featured two American teams led by rival services—the Army and the Navy—and a Soviet effort so secret that few even knew it existed. This race ushered in the Space Age with a saga of science, politics, technology, engineering, and human dreams.
