Tora, Tora, Tora, at the ‘Ball!

YHC is likely the only guy in the region that was raised by the WW II generation (expect a lot of the pax’s grandads were) so this was a very special day. I grew up listening to these guys tell about it (mostly pretty funny stories) and had an uncle that was the REAL DEAL when it came to war heros in my uncle Roy Fortner who led the 15th Air Force Mission over Berlin…

An Army of 2

So YHC was on deck for Crow’s Nest the day after the famous Lake Wylie Christmas Party, which he did not attend. But apparently a lot of others did so and to great enjoyment!

Jack Webbs from Hell at the Deep

Been wanting to do something like this for some time and was waiting for an hour workout to give it a try.  13 pax (and 2 pre-runners) got there early and we started right on time. Warm-up – feels weird, but we needed to get stretched out for what was to come.  Quick sets of imperial walkers, Moroccan night clubs, cherry pickers and then headed out.  We moseyed the full car line across the street…

Q from the 6

Q from the 6 Warm-O-Rama We didn’t do it Running Wednesday 5 am Barracuda started as planned.   At the risk of not being able to Q from the front of the pack I decided to publish the route the night before.  We call it the Bonum Road Loop (backwards according to Survey Says) – meaning, run up  Hwy 49 to Copper and loop back around to the CVS.   This is what I called a “partial…
