Dear Silverton, About 4 years ago, a nice lady named Alicia from Silverton found me under a bush all alone and far from here. I was only about 4 months old. She brought me to 9318’ on an exciting trip up the Million Dollar Highway.

Dear Editor, We usually camp at one of your RV parks in Silverton, but because of the uncertainty related to OHV’s we chose to stay elsewhere. This cost the RV park a loss of income as a result.
