Safe to return…?

After last week’s start to the beat down that was about as strange as the pilot episode of “The Walking Dead,” a few PAX escaped from the fart sack to see if the coast was clear for a return to the Creek.  Good news…all clear, but a few seemed to …

The Shot Heard Round Milton Ave.

Winter returned to Milton Ave. this morning as the faithful plus Millertime (new faithful) gathered to meet the FNGs Foghorn had rounded up.  As 5:30 got there, no FNGs so we picked from our extensive list of loops in the 5 mile or so category.  We are fortunate in the …
