Silverton

We have a soft spot for Silverton, CO.



This marks our fifth time camping here.  There is just something about the massive peaks and passes, the smell of the pines that keeps pulling us back.

We dropped the teardrop along the tedious, yet familiar Lime Creek Road and made our way into town to see what passes were open.  It was a hellacious snow season for this area, so many passes are still closed.



Since we spent so much time in the Jeep yesterday, we kinda wanted an easy day.  We mosied down Lower Mineral Creek to peek at the waterfalls.


Third photo down in this post from 2016, shows you how 3 years can change a waterfall.





We then went into Silverton to restock on mosquito coils.  Lime Creek is wonderful to camp along, as long as you're prepared to be swarmed.

After a tiny bit of shopping, we motored our way back to camp for a lazy evening of dinner and Sailing Lavagabonde.
