Was headed to TJ in '67 with a Girlfriend.
TSgt buddy asked if would drop off 200 pounds of gold, from his family's old gold mine, while I was there.
My only question, "will the prison owners allow my sweetheart and I, to bunk in the same jail cell?"
IIRC
USA $35/oz
TJ over $100/oz

He understood my .... No thanks.
My regret was not buying his freshly skinned, zero time since overhauled '47 Aeronca Champ, that his family bought new in '47.

Price to me was less than 1K.
Sad but true... as I was invested in building a Harley chopper.
Plus there were rumors that Speeds Airport, near our home, might be closing.
