I hope to get back there one day soon as we missed the Grand Canyon due to time constraints, but had a lovely little tour of Fredonia Arizona while our car was being fixed and then a great albeit short view of Cliff Dwellers as we whizzed by, a magical part of the country, some part Earth some part Mars.

But then we were running late - the drive out and back to Animas Forks was slow-going, so we headed on our way. We loved Silverton though! Lisa,

I wish i'd known you were going!! My mom owns and runs a motel IN Silverton!!! Glad you had a chance to check out the town and beyond. She actually lives in a log cabin home PAST the old Hundred Mine...at nearly 10,000 feet! Hope you guys are well! :) Lisa Ah! I wish i’d known you were going!!

It was an eight mile drive on unpaved bumpy roads meant for 4-wheel drives with high clearance! The ghost town was very cool – though it was a challenge getting there in our little rental car.
