Introduction
Rolled into Base Camp around 4:45am to find a very dark AO. Odd feeling after a few years of going to the same places consistently but at the same time liked the unknown. YHC checked out Mt. Everest, one side is much bigger than the other, think dark tower from the river with no flat spots. It will be interesting in the winter. Ran back to the flags and saw one car, it was my man Buttermaker, good to see a familiar face. Guys started rolling in around 5:05, be careful when you pull into this parking lot in the dark. 5:15, time to roll.

Mosey back to flags, plank series till the six arrived, thanks Flush for grabbing the cones!
Circle of Trust
Prayers for people in Haiti and Afghanistan, and the soldiers over the past 20 years serving our country. Stole Dorn’s CoT from a week ago as it has stuck with me. We often preach a life of gratitude, living 3rd and serving the community. However, when you get angry, bitter or even resentful, you cannot be grateful at the same time. If you feel yourself being overcome by anger, bitterness or resentment. Take a moment, pause and be grateful, its a much better way to go through life and frankly what is expected of a leader.
Naked Man Moleskin
What a great experience this morning. To see a region that is just starting, so much energy and excitement, one can already see the bonds forming. Thank you for giving it your all and bringing along that man next to you. Thank you to Flush, Buttermaker, Daisy and Goldberg for making the trip up North to support a brother. Welcome to MadMan and Schnitzel, one of the few that gets a taste of BabyHands on their very first day! Thanks Fathom for the invite…YHC thinks you may owe the PAX a cup of coffee or even a beer for missing today :). You’re always welcome at any of the F3 Naperville AO’s. DM if you want to come down and I’ll set you up real nice! Sign up for the 5K, get on the Q sheet, keep EH’ing and I’ll see you in the gloom again shortly.
