@@conniedellinger4089 thank you!!!
You could due without the loud music covering up your voice on the videos.
Informative and good commentary. I've visited the San Juan area years ago. It is a Colorado hidden gem. I rode on the train from Durango to Silverton, then later rode it back. Also hiked from Molas Lake down to the valley where the train traveled through. It was absolutely wonderful.
Such a sexy view
Indeed
