It took the bus 1.5 hours to make the journey up the mountian passes nice ride and beautiful scenery. We arrived in Silveton and had 3 hours to bum around town.
We had lunch in a resturant called Handlebars, it was very eclectic. Wierd stuff on all the walls.
We walked around town in search of some geocaches found one out of 3, time was running out had to be back to catch train back to Durango.
We climbed on board the open Gondola car to head back and it started to rain. Rain was coming inside of the car and I noticed the couple next to us had rain poncho's so Asked where they got them. Luckily it was a store just a 100 feet from our rail car so jumped out and bought 2 for Peggy and I. Only needed to wear them for a short time as Murphy Law kicked in and as soon as the train started to roll it stopped raining. seeeeesh!!!
The train trip back took 3.5 hours down through the mountian valleys along the Animas river most of the way. Beautiful country and a must do for anyone coming this way.
