TP = Tropical Paradise

11 Pax rose from their warm fartsacks this morning and made the decision to get better at Turning Point. Although YHC’s car read 27 degrees outside, temps quickly rose and before long the Pax were beginning to think that Turning Point was a tropical paradise. Well OK, there weren’t any fruity drinks with umbrellas in them or poolside room service but what do you need that for when you have Mt. Midway to play on. YHC would show you a pic but we know that’s not possible so I will draw it to the best of my abilities: Imagine that this A is Mount Midway and this p is the Pax….p    A…p  A…p A…pA…

p

A….Ap…A p…A  p…A   p

Hope you have a good imagination! #PiclessBBsSuck
