DAY 6 - Thursday 6/23 continued
more of the Million Dollar Highway
	before dropping into Silverton, we stopped and took photos at the overlook while there, the Texas Mustang Club drove by


Silverton, Colorado
	Silverton is a small town which still has only ONE paved street


	...as we pulled into Silverton, it was raining OH HAIL ...it started hailing - luckily small hail, not Texas-size hail

	next was some on your own time in Silverton which included grabbing lunch - a group of us stopped in at the Handlebar Saloon

Heading on up the Million Dollar Highway
		We loaded up and headed on up the Million Dollar Highway towards Ouray

	We got our first glimpse of the *Switzerland of America mountains*

		we stopped traffic for a bit so we could take these awesome photos

	actually we didn't ...it was road construction the cyclist from Germany & Switzerland caught up with us - and we enjoyed chatting with them

	...some opted to clean their car with the 20+ minute delay - wasn't a bad idea either

	there was a rushing steam coming down out of the mountains on this switchback ...and it comes out the other side of the highway almost violent
	we were told we could leave in a few minutes, so we loaded up. ...and she said, one last photo of the Corvettes please

	as we headed on up the highway, the switchbacks were so tight that we could wave to each other ...a little more rain





Heading on up the Million Dollar Highway - Ouray Colorado
	just before entering Ouray, you are presented with the *Switzerland of America* landmark - see, I didn't make it up

		then we checked into our lodging, the Ouray Victorian Inn and everyone was on their own until time for dinner

	we cruised thru town and pointed out a few things that people could enjoy for the afternoon. Some of those included the hot springs pool, Cascade Falls, shopping - where dinner was this evening, etc.

	most opted to relax and enjoy the area at the back of the hotel, by the raging river


		some of us walked to dinner - some drove

	Dinner tonight was on main street, at the Outlaw Restaurant - great food and service
A few additional photos (13) from tonight's dinner


	...couldn't tell if Donald was photo-bombing or comparing the shine?

after Dinner
	several went back to the Inn while others went strolling (lots of flowers around town). Not to mention lots of shopping - where you could find lots of stuff - some even true but useless


	Cascade Falls was very visible from main street ...if you are into hiking, Upper Cascade Falls has awesome views
