Thanks for all the info... I got my Card and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was... I decided to go to the Durango Healing Center ... they handled everything for me and they were very reasonable as well... nice place and people... I brought all my records, id's, proof of residency... saw the doc and had my temporary card in hand within an hour... so, not meant to be an advertisement for them, but they made it as easy as it could have been...
