Seek Higher Ground!

WWL tweeted a flash flood warning about 5am with a simple message: Seek Higher Ground!   Nine PAX including one FNG were unfazed by weather but none the less YHC decided to take heed. After a brief disclaimer we headed to the mountain: 1st COP at the bike rack: SSH x20, MC x20, IW …
