Wilke Sighting In COS ~ WooHoo: Salmon & Albarino, Meuller St Pk, Paravacini's, Games, And Urban Egg 10Oct25-12Oct25

Whoa, a Wilke sighting was made in Colorado Springs! Our friends visited for a weekend of fun and we did have same. On arrival we enjoyed debate, a cheese plate, and some bottles of Edgar's Albarino with a nice salmon & roasties dinner from Kala. We arose to pumpkin bread smells and left early enough for Meuller St Pk to hike. We chose a multi-ridge, multi-view hike on a decent but cool fall day and caught the last vestiges of aspen color on the Front Range. See the team finish strong with Wilks still actively debating the state of the world with Kala.

On the way back we hit the cool kite fluff install over a pond in Green Mtn Falls ~ nice but amazingly crowded on these waning day of early light. Not much wind but still cool. We hit a fav Italian spot, Paravacini's, for dining. Super tasty and my wine choice was keen even though Franco wasn't there to tap the cellar.

We arrived safe back at Blodgett and enjoyed some games, as we do. Boys won Joker Jumper on a comeback and Dave & Les completely dominated in dominos. The next AM we spun the 'hood in the FlyBox at pace. Common thread ~ me as a teammate; heh heh. We also did Urban Egg for breakfast beneath Pikes Peak, which had no fog hat today; good wrap on a GR8 WE with our buddies.
