Day: May 26, 2019

What happens at Neverland stays in Neverland… Or did it really happen?

Sort of like if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it really make a noise?  I did not do well in Psych 101, however, the PAX on this bright Monday crushed it.  Knowing that those that did Mt Mitchell the previous day did not arrive home till late, I assumed they would be no shows.   Was not sure how many had hiked so had two weinke’s in mind.  The PAX was nine strong, so I went with option B.

Special Guests

I saw the call gonout on Slack on Saturday night…something to the effect of “anyone rucking Coconut Horse tomorrow?” Playa, we have a ruck AO on Sundays in Dallas so I cordially invited them.

6:15 am Sunday rolls around and I was pleased to see Dry Rub and Watts Up take us up on the invitation. They joined Big Pappy and I for a tour of Dallas.

We head toward the Dennis Franklin Gym, legendary home of roundball. 10 Parkbench Merkins IC and 10 Dips IC. Lets mosey!

As we head toward the courthouse, we mosey by another Dallas Icon…Pizza Man’s house. 10 Money Humpers in cadence in his yard for good measure. Lets mosey.

Next stop, the historic Dallas Courthouse. Triple Nickle over the stairs with Merkins and Squats on each side. This exercise is tough with a ruck sack on…it is my go-to!

Next we mose across Trade St and do so.e overhead presses with pallets. We continie to mosey to the hills of Dallas. I showed them where Pappy lives, the bear cut from a log with a chainsaw, and we rucked up and down various hills, pausing for squats periodically as well as Incline Merkins on the steepest hill. We make a loop back around and return just in time for CoT.

I enjoy this AO so far. We are consistently getting a few men each week. I would love to get a few more regulars and even a few guys who would like to Q. Come on out and see us in Big D on Sunday mornings!
