I try to get out to Graveyard for a Q at least once a month. These guys are max-effort, hard-working PAX that push me harder than I push them. I have a great deal of respect for this crew, and it’s not just because so many of them are over 50 and could easily whoop my tail. Having said all that, I knew that what my buddy JIMB-O and I had planned was gonna be a challenge for us all.
Here’s how it all went down…
