Silverton to Lake City?

Was looking at a map this morning, thinking of driving through Silverton (start/finish of Hardrock), since it's close to Lake City. Turns out the two towns are only 30 miles apart. However, since the San Juan mountains separate them, the dirt road is kind of sketchy. To get to Silverton via a paved road, it's over 130 miles.

Somebody on the Hardrock e-mail list was thinking about taking the mountain road with a 2WD vehicle. Prompted several responses, including this gem:

"They say the best offroad vehicle is a rental car. I say go for it. We need more good stories!"

Why don't you just run between the two? You can do it.

What chum said. Quit polluting our air and wasting gas on worthless roadtrips.
