The Folsom Chalice

7 HIM’s come out to Folsom this wet and dreary morning to go on a quest. That quest was to find the Folsom Chalice. The location of this treasure was unknown.  What does the chalice look like? We did not know, but we were all up to the challenge and ready to put in some work.

The Thang

  • 30 LBC’s at each light.
  • 10 Big Boys to turn left
  • 20 Merkins to turn right
  • 30 Squats at the speed bump
  • Each PAX take a turn on the direction we go.

The Quest – Written like an 80’s role playing video game.

  • Light – 30 LBCs
  • Love Boat directs to the right – 20 merkins
  • Light – 30 LBCs
  • Light – 30 LBCs
  • Wichita directs us to the right – 20 merkins
  • West Side directs us back to the left – 10 Big Boys
  • Light 30 LBCs
  • Speed Bump 30 Squats
  • Huck directs us to the right – 20 Merkins
  • Light 30 LBCs
  • Floyd directs us straight ahead
  • Lights x 4 120 LBCs
  • Lights x 2 60 LBCs
  • Speed bump 30 Squats.
  • Light 30 LBCs
    • We are at the flag now, so we take the opportunity to do the pledge
  • West Side directs to the left – 10 Big Boys
  • Huck directs to the right – 20 Merkins
  • Light 30 LBCs

  • Forced Left – 10 Big Boys
  • Speed Bump – 30 Squats

Then.. like a child at Christmas morning, Round Up is filled with joy as sees the chalice.  He looks at YHC with the biggest smile.  YHC tells him to go and retrieve his treasure.

With our quest completed and our hearts full of joy, together, we then completed the above again but in reverse back to the flag.

Prayer Request

  • Those out of work
  • Our Leaders
  • Fellow PAXs and families

  • Ville to Ville
