I took it down because I caught something I didn't intend to record. I'll post a slightly edited version as soon as I have time to work on it. :smiley16:

I just got a chance to view ur vid. I see you missed the Silverton Northern grade on the N end of town. I just did Lake City to Silverton in cloudy conditions.

We got a late start and I had to hurry. No time for the SN grade

Got any photos of your trip?

About 3.5 hours. Could've gone faster, but my ~75 year old in-laws were in the back and unaccustomed to the rough ride.

Of course. We got lunch and went back to Silverton over Cinnamon.

My rookie in-laws ain't rookies no more. :twisted:

Here's something relaxing to kick off the weekend: the return trip from Lake City to the top of Cinnamon Pass. I believe this is the last of the videos I had to edit from my families Colorado/New Mexico trip last fall.
