    Oops. We are talking about different photos. The one you are talking about is the anthracite range off kebler pass.

    I have been talking about the Silverton photo with the old cabin you posted with no responses. I posted another angle of the same cabin in response yours. That is the one I was saying could be N of the san dunes, huron, crestone needle etc.

    I knew your photo was not Kebler pass, so I started thinking somewhere other than Silverton. Out of the box it looked a bit like the area N of the San Dune with the peaks I mentioned. Sorry for the confusion.

    No worries - your photo hadn't been answered so I was jumping back to be complete.

    The mountain shack, from where I found it, said it was Silverton. I assume the statement to be correct but have no proof of it.

    Happy Thanksgiving!! `heading to the grocery store for goodies...

    Many of us would!

    Here's one we can actually have "for a weekend or so" - the Bonnie Belle Cabin (rental)

    About one mile due south from the Animas Forks townsite - up on the mountain.

    Take the road northeast out of Silverton...

    Saw that on a post on another site earlier today, didn't think it said where it was. Is it in CO?

    James has it. It is photoshoped. It is the crystal mill - but the photoshoper mirrored the mill image (compare the boards in the windows/doors). The rocks / vegitation, to me, says China.

    yup...add it to the list. IIRC the champion mill is the largest still standing old mining structure in Colo. The property is still privately owned and you are not technically allowed to go poke around it. The trail also technically ends (according to the MVUM) at the mill, but the trail is well developed and used continuing on up to the mine - which is quite a ways up high and above the mill. The more interesting wheeling is also above the mill, but its still pretty much moderate at most. Way down below the mill, actually not particularly far up from the trailhead, is a fork to the Iron Mike Mine - there is definitely one serious obstacle there at the creek crossing. That spot is full on big rock chunks - we got 4 old built cjs through it, but they all were traction devices front and rear. I didn't even try it with the open front. It also bent a tie-rod and left some paint in a couple spots on those who did. It does have a permanent man-made anchor point in the rocks above it to winch from. Beyond that, the trail is mellow again. I'd go back and just winch through it and continue on.

    When I first started wheeling I just went wherever the groups posted for their meets online, including this group/site.

    Now that I live in Leadville, in addition to that, I just went out exploring by myself. I look at a map for areas I haven't explored yet, and usually stumble upon more trails I wouldn't have found without just looking.

    Nope. Location-wise, you're not too far off.
