There’s a pretty good conversation on this beginning about halfway through page 3. Most people on most rides do not have communication equipment, so if you don’t get anything going, you’ll still be ok.
I have a HAM radio on the way. After the discussion, I'm taking the chance and going to be an outlaw!
I think it been fixed, you can hit the register button and it comes up
My old college room mate and I are staying in no cost (free) campground 3 miles from town on FR585 (Forest Road). He tells me there are several campgrounds along the road. Look up Silverton on google maps and you can see them.
There are also several on the county road leading from Silverton up toward Animas Forks, which would be along the trail route we will traverse daily to access the southern side of the trail system. Where you will be will require trailering or hauling back into town as 550 is licensed vehicles only.
Animas Forks is both the old mill and townsite where several old buildings have been restored. Animas River starts up at the forks and passes by Silverton and continues down to Durango and on. Cement Creek comes from Gladstone and feeds into Animas River in Silverton. It is what the mine spill came down several years ago.
