Silverton, Colorado

We arrived at Silver Summit RV Park in Silverton on Sunday afternoon.  There are two major passes, Coal Bank and Molas, between Durango and Silverton.  These passes will really test your equipment.  The CAT diesel on this motorhome did better than any other I have owned, maintaining 35-40 mph on the steepest grades while pulling the Jeep.

It has rained here every day since we arrived, more than on any previous trip here.  The cloud cover has prevented the solar system from achieving a full battery charge for about 1 1/2 days now.  The batteries are at about 88% full charge this morning and I am stubbornly refusing to turn on the 120V AC battery charger.  There is hope for some sun today, we will wait and see.
