On a plane...
not sure how i missed this the first time around (probably because there's three of them) but piper turns 6 on 10/5. i know planning is still early but would it be possible to catch up to you on the 6th or 7th and then be on for the remainder?

Yeah, should be easy enough. Looking to have us camp around Wagon Mound, and out side of Taos in the Rio Grand Gorge. From there we will be making our way to Chama and SW Co.

Hope you can make it this year!!!

Some thoughts: I want to set a day aside to ride the Silverton Narrow Gauge. Fitting for what where doing. This: http://www.durangotrain.com/ride-us/presidential-class looked classy and interesting.

Has any one in the group rode the Silverton? Trying to figure out logistics....

but then I remembered geysers, range safety officers, Russian helicopters, lot lizards, broken shocks, flat nasties, airborne chips ahoys, shattered windows, spaghetti dinners, quicksand, pictos, petros, trail babes (see pic) stickers, crashed airplanes, and finally, I have the hat, holster, and want my own Music Video. Lets go :camping:

I'm hoping to be in.

I have ridden the D&SNG, and the Cumbres and Toltec (Chama-Antonito).

I think the scenery is more spectacular on the C&TS--ESPECIALLY that time of year. In fact, we usually ride it right around that time of year, and this year it may be October 4 anyway.

C&TS also isn't as "touristy" as the D&SNG, meaning you can wander around the yards and look at awesomely cool machinery.

Seriously want to join. Too far ahead at this point since I have no idea what will be going on that time of year.

What will be going on that time of year is what you say will be going on. Say "Outlaws Run" :cool:

Thanks for the input. Will take a look at the C&TS this weekend.

Regarding both of them. Is transportation provided if you only ride the train one way? Say Silverton to Durango. As much fun as it would be to do an out and back on the trains there's still a bit of ground to cover (still trying to figure out logistics).

Yeah, what else would you be doing in the fall?


Just about to the point of cutting off the run. Looks like Paul May is in and i'm hopping Robbie and Ige will be kind enough to tag along.

Pagosa Junction is a drive by only. Everything off the road is posted no trespassing Ute Tribal land.

No offense, but this crew is not anything I need to see in any hot springs! :eek:

We did the Durango Silverton railroad about 4 years ago. It was definitely scenic. It returns from Silverton the same day, so you can collect your vehicle once you're back. Bettie did the round trip, but I got off part way up and took the zipline, which was huge fun. Take the cable lift up a tree about 150', walk around the open platform on the tree, clip on the zipline and step off. Land on the next platform, unclip, walk around, re-clip and away you go. We made 32 traverses from tree, mostly across a river with Class 5 rapids. Here's the link: http://ziplinedurangoco.com/
