Welcome to The American Plainsmen Society!

Silverton/Durango area is really pretty country, but I would hate to have to winter up there.  I think I would have to leave right after elk season and go back around May.

LOL   It does make one appreciate a good fire and cup of coffee.

Now I live in Nanny State (California) where they lock the forest gates the first of October and remove the locks the first of June.  Heck, I don't even enjoy shooting holy black until there is a blanket of snow on the ground, but Nanny wants to protect me from getting lost and freezing in the wilderness, 50 yds. off the highway.

   Work the South Park cattle co.outside of Jefferson. Used to take a
bath at the Hartzel hot springs.  Herschel's place was south of us.
 The area is built up to many persons have moved in.  It's just
plum crowded. Coot

Tascosa,  That is about the schedule most of our summer seasonals here in Pagosa. Actually most are leaving now, not even waiting for Elk season.

I'm mighty late to this party. We're here just off the Applegate Trail in southern Oregon. The Applegate brothers traced a route that would lead south around the southern edge of the Cascades into the Willamette Valley so that emigrants would not have to run the rapids on the Columbia just before reaching Oregon City, the end of the Oregon Trail. They were motivated by family drownings and the loss of property on said rapids.
