Turkey Day – Okwata

9 Pax showed up for a Pre-Turkey Thanksgiving Feast Beatdown at the one and only Okwata. With 4 shovel flags planted, possibly a record at Okwata, the clock turned 0530, a brief disclaimer was given, and we were off on a mosey toward the mardi gras fountain…. High knees and …

Okwata – Physical Fury

7 seasoned PAX arrived in the gloom to welcome the day at the best AO in town.  The humidity remains brutal – but YHC continues to hold out hope for the elusive Cold Front which is always allegedly right around the corner. But not today.  Today is humidity and sweat.  …

AT40 – August, 1978

At last!!!  Cooler weather!  It may not last long, but Thursday AM offered a glorious respite from the usual August heat and humidity.  What more could one ask for – the chance to start the day with the Okwata levee, watching the sunrise over the lake, with an actually refreshing …
