GUEST AUTHORS OF HARVEST STORIES AND THEIR ADVENTURES
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I STARTED ASKING GUEST AUTHORS TO SUBMIT HIS/HER’S HARVEST STORIES. (WHEN I WAS STILL DOING THE POD – PAGE OF THE DAY)
AT THIS WRITING I HAVE 60+ STORIES TO SHARE. I AM HOPING THAT A FEW MORE AUTHORS WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE, AND THESE VERY PROLIFIC “CHIPPERS” WILL COME UP WITH A FEW MORE. I WILL CONTINUE TO RE RUN THESE STORIES THROUGH THE COMING YEAR.
THESE STORIES ARE ALWAYS INFORMATIVE AND USUALLY HAVE A BIT OF TONGUE AND CHEEK HUMOR.
IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO SHARE WITH OTHERS, DIFFERENT WAYS OF HARVESTING, THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS THAT WE HAVE FACED OUT THERE WHILE WE WERE HARVESTING.
I ALSO ASK CB POSTERS FOR PERMISSION TO RE RUN THEIR STORIES IF THEY POST IT ON CHIPBOARD.

A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY
NORTHERN EDGE CASINO – FARMINGTON, NM
STEVE GOBLE
Hi
We last left our hero in New Mexico, a strange place to stay after having been in Colorado, for the start of a Colorado Trip, but if you want to go to the 2 Indian Casinos in Colorado, you can't skip out on a side trip to the Northern Edge Navajo Casino in Fruitland (Farmington) New Mexico. If you ever do a New Mexico Casino Loop, this place would be really out of your way. Also, Farmington is a Whole Lot cheaper than staying in the casino hotels!
Northern Edge. Very nice, like the Vegas Strip, but with reasonable table minimums. Friday night: $10 pai Gow + $1 on the fortune bet if you like. Real Pai Pow. Comissions, no funny BS like the CA indian tribes like to pull. Lost about $15 while harvesting my chips.
Scored a 4th Anniversary chip at the table, as well as another chip to send in to the Chipguide.
Good burger in the food court, for $5.25. Problem was the fries that came with it were COLD. It would have been a very nice casino trip if only the cooks had paid some attention to just how long the fries had been sitting. It's silly, but they, well not ruined, but lessened my experience of their casino - for 10 cents worth of potatoes!
