Day 141 Aug 17th

We rode to Silverton today on hwy 550. This includes the section called The Million Dollar Hwy. Scenery around the Ouray area was awesome.
We road up to Animas Forks Ghost town. This is one of Colorado's best ghost town.
From there we rode the Cimmanon trail up to the summit. 12620 feet. Part of the trail going up was about as rough as I care to ride a 600 lb adventure bike up.
We also took a tour of the Mayflower Gold Mill. This mill operated from 1930 to 1991. It looks as though they just left work one day and never came back.
176 miles traveled today.
