Silver hair and Silver City

All 3 RV's arrived safe and sound at Rose Valley RV Ranch in Silver on Wednesday.  There will be one more trailer for our group arriving on Friday.  We all have nice views out our back windows.
First on our list to do is going to downtown Silver.  It's an old mining town, so there is a lot of history and interesting buildings.  As you can see, there isn't much traffic on the street, and I was able to step into the road to get a photo.

I cajoled the other 4 into stopping for a picture on the bridge over the Big Ditch Riverwalk Park.
And this is the same 4, in 2008:

The guys still are wearing their hats, but the hairstyles have changed for both Doris and Sandy! 

When we get to old towns, it seems I am always taking pictures of the historic buildings.  Not only  are they are intrinsically more interesting, they usually have a lot more details than ones built in the last 20-30 years.

One old building had different paintings on the side wall that were quite interesting, with references to famous (and infamous) people that were in the area.  The one below includes a picture of Billy the Kid.  His mother is buried in the cemetery right next to the RV park.
More adventures to come.   Keep tuned in!
