Does Chris still run the Miners Tavern? I know she and her husband ran it
until he died of cancer a few years ago. Last time I saw her she was working
at the visitor's center.

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.

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.

Black house across the alley from the Conoco station, with three satellite
