Silverton, Colorado

The sky was blue…the breeze was sweet…and the road just called us on and on…The scenery between Durango and Silverton is some of the prettiest we’ve seen in all our travels.08_26_overlook

The city of Silverton is tossed into a valley…like a play set that a child forgot to put away.

We were lucky enough to see the Durango-Silverton Stream engine train… sitting at the station while they built up steam.

I remember, as a child, snuggling down in my covers…while the long mournful cry of a steam engine in the distance half woke me in the night…. And wondering what far away places they would see…I would drift back into restless dreams.

Maybe that’s when it all started…this yearning to see what’s just around the next bend of the road.
