You probably weren?t properly advised of what weather to expect. It rains most every day there somewhere. Each afternoon brings short showers. Ah, well...probably more comfortable than the annual rotary snowplow run usually in December. -----Original Message----- From: H&ECummer Sent: Monday, December 03, 2012 4:48 PM To: lug at leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Colorado - Durango to Silverton RR Message: 17 Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 08:49:56 -0800 From: "Aram Langhans" <leica_r8 at hotmail.com> Subject: [Leica] Colorado - Durango to Silverton RR To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org>, "Leica Reflex" When we were in Colorado in late September we splurged and took the narrow gauge RR from Durango to Silverton. I enjoyed it, but my wife and her dad didn't. Partly due to the weather. We were told the day before to dress for the morning temperature and then be prepared to peal off layers as it would be warmer and sunny in Silverton. Well, we dressed for the weather when we got up, but on the way it got colder and began to rain pretty good. I am always warm so it did not bother me, but they were a bit uncomfortable, especially two or three miles from Silverton when the wind came up and blew the rain into the open car we were in. Got pretty soaked. We did have rain gear, back in the campground.... http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/f12/co/t/Train+ride-4547.jpg.html Comments welcome. Aram HI Aram, Nice series. I have the model set in G gauge of the train you rode and someday, when I get all the cabin chores done, I'm going to set it up in the garden. Thanks for posting.
