Trees & Steeps With Sheldon And Gumbo With Kala 23Feb20-25Feb20

The Sunday storm left roads asunder with travel just from Silverthorne to the Frisco exit on I70 littered with stoppages and cars & trucks sliding off the roadway. The Crusher handled it well but I didn't want the 90 min drive over Vail Pass to get to Vail and then back so we flipped and hit our local Keystone spots. Dave Sheldon and I hit soft bumps and nice tree runs all day before we bailed as more crowds appeared and Dave headed down mountain. Always a blast.

Monday brought squalls and white-outs so Kala and I hunkered down and watched this season's Homeland to get up to date... Carrie Madison & Saul are awesome again and the material is incredibly timely. On Fat Tuesday though we had a plan despite the temps in the teen... we headed to the gumbo cook-off at Keystone. Fortunately organizers moved the event inside which was good for temperatures but made it a little packed. Nonetheless we had great food and good time listening to Chris Daniels & The Kings. We both liked and voted for an awesome seafood gumbo with crab, oysters, shrimp and okra topped with a fried oyster by Keystone Conference Center. Happy Madi Gras!
