After much anticipation for Whitney to return to the Q, the birthday doubleheader Q scheduled for July 28th and 30th had to be postponed due to YHC needing to travel to Illinois with the “M” for a death in the family. TClaps for the pax covering my Q’s at the last minute. Anyways…..On to today…..Weather …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN 75.3 degrees F, humidity at 85.3%, barometric pressure slightly dropping indicating a weather front is moving in….oh, did I get this info from a fancy schmancy weather app? No sir, these specifics came from Fiji. Apparently one of the benefits of being a double-respect PAX (aside from $0.25 coffee at McDonald’s) is you get …
Hi All, Based on the success (no one died or got dysentery) of our assault on Sassafras Mountain earlier in the year, another backpacking adventure is in the works! This time, we’ll head north to the wilds of that “other” Carolina to summit “the Beast of the East” Mount Mitchell. Towering at nearly 6,700 feet, …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN 65 degrees, fluorescent lighting, overwhelming smell of unfinished home improvement projects with a sprinkle of an M’s disappointment, and a wall full of tools just begging to be roughly handled and put to good use. Well….that was the experience from my garage at least. Speaking of tools wanting to be roughly handled, 21 other …
Conditions: Moist 19 (yes 19!) PAX posted on a cool, damp SC morning. The day’s festivities started slowly, as it became obvious nobody except our pre-BC runners set an alarm.

CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Temps hovering just below freezing, clear skies, with a beautiful super moon providing the luster of midday to PAX of Depot below! Who knew that this idyllic morning would end in tragedy…. #foreshadowing As YHC planted the shovel flag in the permafrost, he noticed the numbers growing and some folks we hadn’t seen for …
Good Day and Happy New Year!! It’s hard to believe that 2019 (and the 2010’s) are already behind us. In addition to setting goals for the new year, the end of the year is a great time to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments. To that end, below is a summary of our F3LM150 challenge …
Foxhole closed out 2019 with a strong showing of 11 pax! Mumble chatter was average (and by “mumble chatter” I mean “bitching about the cold… or the work… or both”), but the leg work was aplenty. We also welcomed an FNG this morning. Mr. Lou Tepper (Lunch Lady’s father), joined us and stood his own …
Flu-like symptoms claimed our Super Special Guest Q Enos, so two Foxhole VIPs put their heads together for a Co-Q. ??? Last week this dynamic duo introduced the pax to “The Plory”, so this week…… “The Torn B”! Intimidating, right? Anyhow, 7 pax posted this morning in an …
So what do you get when you cross a Plan B with a Tory? More silence…. Deafening silence….. …
