22 PAX emerged from the inky shadows of Jaycee Park to explore what Nightmare this AO could present to them. After some brief mumblechatter about how to properly dress for such weather, YHC called the troops to attention. Easier said than done as the mumblechatter continues throughout. Not to worry… YHC knew he would have their full attention soon enough. As Amphibious pointed out, “We’re not here to make friends.”

And with that, A mosey to the gate of Country Park ensued to kick off what would become a:

Roam-A-Rama

SSH x 30 IC

Parker Peters x 20 IC

Peter Parkers x 20 IC

String Rippers x 15 IC

Mosey down to the intersection

Mosey down to the gravel clearing

People’s Chair w/ Forward Claps x 20 IC

Mosey to the “twists & turns”

LBCs x 25 IC
