YHC has been trying to find a good week to get on the Q sheet for Rush Hour. Over the weekend while camping, he was able to EH a buddy so after a dozen or so adult beverages he slapped his name on the sheet for this week. YHC had a fantastic theme and plan and had even done some recon earlier in the day. Things were all aligned until 4 minutes into the drive to the AO when the dark sky started to be illuminated with intermittent lightening bolts. [Read More]

Fun fact: BiB may be the earliest AO in CARPEx but it barely holds a candle to the AOs outside of Charlotte where 0500 is the norm. Now, before you get all jealous about the three (or one) quarters of an hour they gain on us, there is a simple reason they start so early: Yup… traffic sucks in Charlotte.
