Tourists are for milking. That is what Silverton does. If you have any
impression about Silverton being a refuge for hardy outdoorsy types it shows
that our PR guys have done a good job. The town lives off of tourists. I
thought that the only people who were fooled were flatlander hippies who
wanted to get back to nature, and guys with Rubicons. This place isn't any
more "real Colorado" than it was in the heyday of mining. You need an
"improvement permit" to build anything in the county, and a "building
permit" in the city. We have leash laws, just like you guys.

The only time I go to the Miner's Tavern is when there is an ambulance call
and I have the bad luck to be on call. After thirty or so years of drinking
I have finally come to the conclusion that alcohol and brains don't mix.

Last time I looked there were a half dozen of them at least, a couple of
trophy homes for the rich folks and a row of "affordable housing" units for
the poor folks. The one up the hill that looks like a chalet is reputed to
have cost a million, but you know how rumors go in towns like this.

Next time you are up drive another mile up U.S. 550 to the Cascade Lodge and
eyeball the Power Wagon in front. Guy up here bought that from a Durangoan
for a song...

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon

I thought when there was an ambulance call in Silverton, you took them to
the Miners Tavern to recuperate!

There is a lot of new construction up there, but most of it seems to blend
in. That chalet-looking thing is unfortunate, sticks out like a diamond in a
goat's @$$.

What's with all the paving, why not go back to dirt & horses & stuff?

County is taking over Greene Street from the state this year. As a result
the state has to bring it up to "standards" before the transfer. In my
opinion (and that of a lot of people in town) the state is doing the
absolute minimum that can be called acceptable. We also got money from the
same people who did our piece of ---- skating rink for side walks at the
same time. If you look closely you will see that those fancy new side walks
are only four inches thick. This is in a town with some rather extreme
temperature fluctuations in winter and water lines nine feet deep to prevent
freezing. After the first winter we might be back to dirt. :o(
