AO: Homestead
Conditions: 50 degrees, threatened with rain, treated with sunshine, 10/10 Al Rokers
PAX: HIPAA, T.O.T.S., Fernando, Shake’N Bake, Yosef, Bob Ross (Huntersville), Double D (The Fort), Kodak (Q) = 8
It’s a tale as old as time: You just can’t trust the weatherman. With a wet forecast looming (76% chance of rain at one point), YHC put out the preblast challenge, telling High Country HIMs to FEAR NOT, FOR…
1) You might get a little wet. It won’t hurt you.
and
2) But you don’t even need to worry about that in the first place…because God Loves F3 Boone.
I rolled to the AO in a completely dry vehicle with 5 minutes before go-time. Wading my way through 6 other PAX (in a completely dry gravel lot, I might add), I planted the ShovelFlag firmly into modestly fertile, yet mostly dry grass and instructed everyone within earshot to marvel at the sunshine kissing the face of Howard’s Knob. Hard to believe this is 100% free. Wiping tears from our cheeks, we got down to business.

Grab a Coupon from the back of YHC’s trusty steed.
As we grabbed our Coupons, we noticed a dark figure looming in the bushes. We looked at him. He looked at us. We circled each other and began to sniff one another. Then someone finally asked “Are you looking for F3?” The figure said “Trying to.”
And that’s how we met Bob Ross. Welcome aboard, brother! Glad I grabbed that extra Block.
All About the Benjamins (100 reps)
Do the called exercise at one end, 25 reps

At this point, we started to run a little short on time, seeing as YHC and several other PAX were going to run the Spooky Duke 5K/10K afterward. Wanted to get the CoT and a little Coffeteria time with our off-the-mountain bros before we got after it.
But there’s always time for our girl…
