November 5, 2016 – F3 Gastonia

5 Nomads went to Mighty Jungle. Our first visit to the Isotope region. When we arrived we thought we were late as we saw PAX running through the parking lot with blocks. Luckily it was just the early crowd for the Gladiator workout. Some of which doubled up and joined us for the 7:00 workout(Beast). We spotted a large tire and knew we were in for a good one. The Q started it up and took us for a tour of the church and school grounds via an indian run. Lot of possibilities at this AO. Once we returned to the parking lot we did station work with blocks, sprints and tire flips but the best part was the last 15 minutes. We split our group into two teams of 8 and played some ultimate frisbee. Kind of like football with a frisbee. This part was still an excellent workout and put a smile on everyone’s face. There was a little competition and a little bit of blood spilled!

Yet again we have met another great group of guys. Very welcoming. Hope to see you all again soon!

So what does the tittle have to do with any of this? Well I won’t say but on the way home there was a restored Falcon on the interstate and I guess the mood was just right and…..well you just never know where a conversation will go when your on the road with the Nomads! Show to know!

So Midoriyama has a special feature that AO’s around here don’t have….A Mountain! 2 had climbed it once before and we have talked about doing again for some time. YHC figured since it has cooled down some and the leaves are changing it would be a good time to see the view from up there. That and of course we set the clocks back next week so Midoriyama will start posting in the gloom as well. There was a brief disclaimer about not knowing how much of the property belongs to the park and if the man comes it will be jailbreak time. We did a short warmup of the usual SSH’s, a few Hillbillies and imperial walkers then hit the mosey with the shovel flag in hand. We moseyed VIA the soccer loop trail and service road to the base stopping to do a few merkins and Al Gore’s. At the base YHC advised we would be walking from this point. The path up is the power line path and is nothing but rocks. Big rocks(some scaling is involved) and small rocks(easy to roll an ankle here). It is all straight up the side and about half way it gets pretty steep(leg burner). Everyone did a great job! Once we were at the top a few did hip slappers off the tower building wall. We posed for a pic and headed back down.
