Wander what the odds are?

Seeing a few HC’s for Wander last night, and knowing the M wasn’t planning to post at FiA, YHC decided to join in on the fun.  A quick check of the Q schedule showed no one officially locked in to lead so I signed up and made the route.  I put the ruck in the jeep along with two 50# sandbags.  Why not carry one or maybe two sandbags depending on the number of PAX to show?

As I drove in this morning I decided to let fate determine how many coupons we would carry.  So, with the 2 sandbags laying before the PAX, I presented a quarter.  We would flip the quarter twice – one for each sandbag.  Heads = carry it.  Tails = leave it.  After two unnamed PAX each flipped Heads, we knew we had some extra work ahead of us.

Weather: high 50s, everything damp from all the rain.

Moleskin:

  • Even before the two Heads were rolled, Moist thought I brought a 2 headed coin.  This tells me I’m doing something right.
