Default Salida, CO flying this summer?

A few years back a friend and I launched out of Salida and were unable
to return due to weather.Â* The clouds were down on the tops of the peaks
and we eventually landed out at Alamosa.Â* As we were pushing our gliders
to the ramp, a funnel cloud descended from the clouds a few miles away.Â*
Fortunately it did not reach the ground.

We were young and wild back then eh??
At least we are still wild!
