Great News Today...............4/15/11

Yesterday I got some great news about where we plan to stay in Silverton. The RV Park has permission for it's customers to ride directly out of RV Park into the roads and trails that lead into the mountains. This will mean we can stay our entire time in the Silverton area at the RV Park and not have to trailer atv back and forth into the mountains............
