As it was here the town was just as dead all covered in snow, not a soul in sight, it looked like a back lot at Universal Studios. Loved that old cemetery, and we were treated to an interesting sight a couple of years back as we got to see a trail ride with lots of cowboys & girls out for the day, almost look like a movie shoot for a some western saga.<br />Thanks for rekindling those memories.<br />D&A Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-70549498385317489102020-01-03T17:59:58.707-07:002020-01-03T17:59:58.707-07:00A lovely post as always.

Being so remote, I would be shocked if Silverton has natural gas. So they are left with wood stoves...some of which can burn coal...electric (expensive) and coal furnaces. Ouray has a surprising amount of homes heated with electric baseboard heat...most supplement that with wood stoves due to the cost. And, they are still building condos with electric baseboard heat as it saves the contractor a few thousand dollars.

Further research indicated that Silverton lost 10% of its population to the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.<br />How has the Subaru Forester performed on US550 during snowfall drives? Have you tried X mode in deep snow on the back roads? Has the Forester lived up to your expectations?
