I started Saturday at Breck where Pk 6 & 7 had the last of the Summit Co runs open for alpine skiing this season. The forecast was still for a bit of snow but I still donned shorts (and fishing shirts) for my runs. The top of 6 was cold and crusty but 7 was soft. Anyway, I made my novelty runs and headed back to COS the back way, hoping I'd be able to stop on the S Platte for some fishing. Well, it was snowing on Hoosier and Wilkerson and raining hard through South Park; I did not stop. Probably a good thing as we got a surprise call from Matt & Elena who brought and cooked dinner. We had a fine night with them for dinner and games; even the dogs came in and were well-behaved (no pics).
The plan for Mother's Day was a round of golf and nosh after. Matt arrived JIT, and it was pretty cold and windy but we pursued it. There was a bit of spittle but only after 3 holes we were shedding layers in the sunshine. I wore a Lehigh lacrosse shirt for good luck. We didn't play our best golf but we did have a good time at our nice muni in The Springs. Afterward we dined at Il Vicinos for pizza and then hit Goat Patch for last toasts of the day.
Nice Mom's Day and really good weekend in total... except for the losses by all the PA teams in the NCAA D1 men's lacrosse post-season tourney (the sweeter 16). St Joe’s swirling tenacious ride kept them in it for a long time (Virginia was only clearing 1:5 through much of the 1st half), but the big athletes of the Wahoos ultimately took over. Then Lehigh played their slowdown well and had a 1 goal lead going in to the final quarter vs a very strong 3rd seeded Hopkins team, but they let 4 unanswered in the 4th dash hopes of a deeper run. Finally, the Nittany Lions were up 7-2 after a stellar first stanza but ultimately slowed terribly and lost to Georgetown. Grrr. Good news in lax is that DU looked excellent winning against Big10 champions, Michigan.
