I'm guessing it won't take the surrounding land owners long to realize there is a potential to make money by leasing out Right of ways to the campgrounds. Create a trail to the trails and everybody is happy.
That really isn't possible in Silverton. The routes used to go exploring the old mines and what not are not trails, they are county roads, which are used by street legal vehicle traffic. There's no way to make OHV routes through already owned property through town to bypass the city streets in order to gain access to the spots where the ATVs/OHVs had to trailer to before, the main one was at Eureka.
