Annie's Trip: Silver Plume!

"Northern Exposure" is my favorite show of all time and the tiny town of Silver Plume, Colorado is the closest place to Sicily, Alaska that I've encountered in my travels. It's, by no means, exactly the same, but has an eerily similar feel. Annie and I stumbled upon this diamond in the rough after driving through "rich-bitch" central (Aspen & Vail). As you can imagine, this was truly an unexpected surprise. Silver Plume is proudly perched 9,100 feet above sea level and is home to 176 residents, most of whom are rustic mountain men who love to chop wood with their enormous biceps and broad shoulders. Hubba Hubba!
