The BackBlast:
Intro:
Some dudes and a coupon did some walking and talking, then walked back
Warm-o-Rama:
Unnecessary, as it was already warm out. Although some PAX thought personal saunas by FrogTogs, or maybe GladBag was in order.
The Thang:
Noonday Creek Trailhead – more exploration of the trail, and a bit of the KSU property around the Perch. Gut Check took us on a predetermined route YHC, slowed his intended pace by passing around a 30# DRP
Came upon what we think was an ROTC squad; failed to EH them. (Where is Chops when you need him?) Think they got lost as we never saw them again. Next outing may be Search/Rescue
The new U apartments are nice They have a massive fitness center. It was empty, obviously the students are longing for something more, like F3 We should be louder next time and spotlight more windows. (“Snot Rocket, look for my signal”) oddly, and definitely unrelated, every time a siren went off, whoever had the pill quickly passed it off. I think we have the makings for a new game
Also, next time, there needs to be IV&V of any route Gut Check offers up Of all the 8th graders, he is the 8th gradiest. Not sure why I can’t stop laughing…
COT:
Prayers for Snot Rocket on his camping trip; Careless Whisper’s M and her dissertation progression; the strengthening of F3 as we expand to uttermost parts.
Naked Man Moleskin:
Sometimes it’s important to just get out into the simplicity of the gloom. Life is busy, and hectic, and maddening. An hour outside of that, like todays walk, which for your YHC was more 2ndF than 1st, is therapeutic on so many levels. Keep getting out there, and keep inviting others (FNGs & Kotters) it may just be the nudge a dude needs.
