Some time to stroll.

Silverton Travel Blog › entry 32 of 66 › view all entries

The plan: a 3 week car trip covering as many sites as we can fit. About 4,500 miles, and include California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming and back again. Many National Parks. It ended up over 5,200 miles, 1,800 pictures.

Some time to stroll.

Even though we were here yesterday we stopped by again today.  We saw most everything and had almost enough time to say “Been there, done that.”

 

But today the road north towards Grand Junction leads us right through town, so we stopped again for a few minutes.  We had a nice stroll around what we missed yesterday and even a little shopping.  I even found a souvenir of sorts. No, it doesn’t say or have anything to do with Silverton, Durango, Railroading or like that.  A collectable horse from the collection of “Trail of the Painted Ponies” caught my eye.  This one is painted with zebras, and the overall look is that of a zebra. Kinda cool.

 

A few more photos and were on our way north.
