Totally Blown Away!

In our last episode, we were leaping forward into the unknown future. This week, we were getting totally blown away with wind gusts that reached 101 MPH up at Monarch Pass, and who knows what up here in the San Juan Mountains. This was our first significant dust event this season.

New Beginnings

When a Golden Eagle power dives right in front of your windshield, as you return to the San Juan Mountainsnearly brushing the glass as you hit the brakes- just as you begin your ascent into the high country- you experience the shock and awe of a really intense life changing wake up call.

The Sound Of Silence

Silverton is peaceful and quiet. So is the weather. The Sound of Silence is your correspondent's concentration. OK- none of you could possibly believe that!However- belief is usually nothing more than biasmore often than not. So get over it! Get what I am getting at?

Letters to the Editor

 To the Silverton San Juan Fire Department:Please forgive me for taking so long to let you know how much I appreciated the celebration of life of my sweet loving husband, Ron, that was held on September 27th.
