Basecamp Silverton

Matt,

All I can see is the top of Kendall Mtn...most of the time the sun obscures the view. Can you tilt it down to see the town? Right now 5:21 EDT all I can see is the top of the mountain and blackness except for the power lines accross the screen. Do no misunderstand I appreciate what I do see.

The ISS will pass directly over Silverton Sunday evening. If skies are clear this should be a nice sight even with the full moon lighting up the sky. The ISS will rise in the SW at 8:53 PM, pass overhead at 8:56PM, and set in the NE.

The San Juan County Commissioners met last night, June 23. The main item discussed was Quad-County Resolution 2010-1 opposing The Bad Three, Proposition 101 and Amendments 60 and 61 on the November ballot.

I no longer have a location to place the web cam with a continuous broadband connection and a nice view. I am currently looking, but haven't found anything yet. Therefore, the cam will be down until further notice. Sorry for any inconvenience!

UPDATE! Thanks to Silverton Realty for hosting the webcam! It's a slightly different view than before, but I'm very happy have them hosting the camera for me! Sorry for the downtime!

This morning, June 9, I attended the San Juan County board of commissioners meeting at the courthouse. The main topic of discussion was closure of the Lackawanna Bridge. Read on for more.

Installment two of my San Juan County Commissioner campaign diary covers last night's county commissioner meeting held at the court house from 6:30 to 8:00 pm and broadcast on KSJC.

I'm Bob Boeder and I'm running as an unaffiliated candidate for San Juan County Commissioner. From time to time I will use Basecamp Silverton to keep county citizens informed of my campaign activities. Last night, May 20, I attended the monthly meeting of the Animas River Stakeholders Group. ARSG is a model example of community based problem solving, of local people taking responsibility for their environment.

From Megan's brother-in-law, Simon...

In her latest challenge she flew 10,000 miles in a trip that took her from her home town of Silverton across to Moscow and then down deep into southern Russia, a 72 hour journey to compete in one of the world’s most feared endurance races. A sprint and scramble up the 18,510 feet high Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in the Caucasus mountain range and depending on your view point, the highest point in all of Europe. And she won. Setting a new record for the fastest woman of 3 hrs 22 minutes. And to add an extra degree of difficulty she competed in the vertical kilometer the day before, a race from 2,500 meters to 3,500 meters. She won that too.
