Silverton, CO

Silverton used to be a big mining town north of Durango. The town has been gussied up for tourists and is a now a favorite destination for 4x4 rides through the beautiful San Juan Mountains.

I drove up to Molas Lake to check out the campground where the Sportsmobile Rally will be held starting tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm boondocking on BLM land at Mineral Creek. Holly and Rosemary came down from Montana in their SMB and met me here today. We'll camp together at the rally too.
