The Desolation of Smaug

AO: Jailbreak

When: 2024-08-08

QIC: Swiper

PAX (13): Bagel, Baskins, Gonzo, Herbie, la-Z-boy, Ma Bell, Mantooth, Olaf, Relient, Snake, Swiper, Tae-Bo, Nutty

Warm-O-Rama:

Two PAX set out early to scout the area and begin the journey while the rest stayed for detailed instruction…

The Thang:

Depart from the Flag and head to the entrance of Erebor, the cellar in the bottom of the Lonely Mountain.  The instructions had to be followed precisely or the PAX would once again end up wishing for flame retardant running shorts…here we go 1)Past the lake - right on Lakeside - 2) right on Pine Lake - 3) right again on Pine Crest (we lost our first 2 PAX here, a common error) - 4) left on Timberlane - 5) right on Green Acres, 6) right on 20 - 7) home free.  It appears we found the location of the missing scale and delivered an arrow straight through the heart of the wretched beast!  9 out of 13 made it back to the flag on time compared to Zero on the first try and about 40% on the second.

COT:

9/14/24 - Driveway Mile at Central Park.  Details to follow - we learned that Ma Bell was a very sharp dresser in Elementary School

Naked-Man Moleskin:

This morning’s victory is proof that failure is never final!  Every failed attempt at anything is a learning experience that brings you closer to future triumph!
