 Posted on March 11, 2018  |  4 minutes  |  771 words  |  

“The lake at Phoenix is beautiful this time of year,” I thought with a sadistic little smirk on my face. Here is how we got there…. YHC didn’t know what to expect at Phoenix this morning with the Mule going on in Raleigh. Hello Kitty planned a 6 mile meander through Cary, as well. But, the parking lot was packed with PAX and one FNG. So, after the initial disclaimer, we were off, running down to the stop sign and then “whoa, curveball” Hi-Liter heads to the right, the traditional Texas Ranger path, but YHC heads left, just keeping everyone guessing.

On the 4th day, Breathtaker and I decided to Q Flying Circus. Its been on my TO-DO list for awhile. Forecast? Copious amounts of rain. Head for cover? Heck no… Roll up on the AO with five minutes to spare. Not one around… uh-oh. Luckily Biner keeps a spare shovel flag in his SUV as no site Qs were present. Though I did get a drunken text from 1AM SkyBlue apologizing that he was “working” late.
