Re: Silverton train at Shalona Lake from Flagstaff Ridge
| May 30, 2020 06:20PM |
The train is crossing the old highway at Shalona
The train is about to disappear in a stretch of forest and the "mini highline"
In the next view the train reappears briefly (next to the tall dead branch), with a mystery lake in the background - a lake I didn't know was there until hiking on Flagstaff Ridge.
I have for some years intended to hike back up to the Flagstaff view point for some higher resolution views, but the fire and its aftermath was kind of a deterrent, but this year it should be feasible when regular trains run again
